**About PSB and the Goormachtig/Rhizosphere lab**:
The project is situated within the European effort to introduce soybean as a protein crop for sustainable agriculture in Northwestern Europe. In a collaborative effort with Ghent University and ILVO, we will pinpoint optimal soybean-rhizobia combinations for efficient nitrogen fixation when applied at northern latitudes, gain profound insights into the genetic underpinnings of these interactions, and uncover plant growth promoting rhizobacteria that enhance the symbiotic relationship. Our project paves the way for sustainable high-protein soybean production in North-western Europe, with the potential to benefit high-latitude regions worldwide.

To coordinate this project and be the spokes-person for collaboration with the partners and Industry, we are hiring a highly motivated molecular plant-microbe scientist (‘Degree in Biochemistry/Biotechnology, Biology, Bioscience Engineering or similar)’. Together with two PhD students, the scientist will evenly be involved in the fundamental research related to the molecular understanding of the compatibility between soybean genotypes and microbial strains.

**Profile**:

- A junior post-doc in Life Sciences or Bioscience-engineering
- Hands-on experience in molecular plant-microbe interactions
- You love to take initiative and are a team player
- You have a strong perseverance and critical mindset
- Organization and communication are your talents.

**We offer**:

- An intellectually stimulating, international and multi-disciplinary research environment
- Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure
- High-quality training to develop hard and soft skills
- Opportunities to participate in (inter)national workshops and scientific conferences
- A competitive salary including benefits

The VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology is a world-leading science institution on the Techlane Campus in Ghent, Belgium. Ghent University is among the top 100 global universities according to several international rankings.
