PhD stipend in molecular neuropharmacology at University of Copenhagen
The Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen offers a 2-year post doctoral position in population genetics of potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The position starts September 2013 or soon thereafter and is funded through a research grant ("BioMark") from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The project will provide biological knowledge on population genetics of Potato late blight Phytophthora infestans) in Denmark in order to offer a genetically based risk assessment of the disease. The risk assessment will include fungicide resistance, virulence etc. and will be PCR based. The work will focus on sequence and micro satellite data analyses to develop genetic markers that will detect epidemiological characteristics of the population.
