PhD Program

The scientific mission of our PhD program is to study fundamental biological processes in plants and to create knowledge and material that can empower innovative plant breeding. More than 30 research groups study regulatory networks controlling fundamental traits such as reproductive development, organ geometry and growth, innate immunity and microbiome effects on plant performance. They apply and develop a broad range of interdisciplinary technologies ranging from genetics and genomics to structural biochemistry, advanced imaging and computational modelling in established and novel model species.

We adhere to the core values of the Max Planck Society, treat each other with respect and do not tolerate any forms of discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, disability, religion or belief, age or sexual orientation or identity.

Our Program

Together with our university partner in Cologne , we train about 90 mostly international PhD students and encourage talented young researchers to apply for individual  open positions or, once per year, to our International Max Planck Research School,  IMPRS . Please contact the PhD Office if you need further information. 

On top of working in a scientifically excellent and highly inspiring environment, all PhD students become part of a structured program which is designed to last three to four years. The program mission is to develop students into independent and creative researchers and to strengthen their scientific and technical background.

A core component of the PhD program is the thesis advisory committee, TAC. The TAC consists of the direct supervisor and additional co-supervisors that guide our PhD students until they have successfully completed their PhD program.  TAC Meetings  with the student take place on a regular basis and are essential to jointly evaluate past and future directions of each PhD project.

Alongside regular seminars at group or department level, PhD students have the opportunity to present their projects at an annual  PhD Retreat and in an early career researchers' seminar series.

The PhD Office, the Max Planck Society and the University of Cologne make further offers that support your scientific and personal development and set you up for a successful career. We offer

• Courses and workshops in professional skills
• German classes
• Mentoring frameworks

Best Global Research Positions in Agriculture and Biosciences

10 Ten PhD Positions in Plant and Soil Sciences Fully Funded by the European Union in 9 European Countries

By Agristok

Applications are invited for 10 PhD positions (Doctoral Researchers) in the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Root Phenotyping Integrated Educational Doctoral Network “ROOTED”.

About RootEd Project funded by the European Union: A deeper understanding of the interactions between soils and plants, especially at the root zone, where they take up water and nutrients may support sustainable intensification of agricultural production. Research is indicating that a greater understanding of roots and soil functions may lead to increases in crop yields, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from soils, enhanced productivity in grasslands and reductions in fertilizer requirements to land.

However, data gaps remain in our understanding of how plant roots interact with their environment from a physiological and phenotypic perspective. The challenge of ensuring food security provides the impetus for RootEd (Root Phenotyping Integrated Educational Doctoral Network). RootEd will apply deep learning and artificial intelligence to speed up data generation in root phenotyping.

Network: RootEd consolidates the complimentary expertise of an international, interdisciplinary, multisectoral team to train a new generation of creative, resilient, adaptive multi-skilled scientists capable of innovating the fields of plant and soil sciences to actively contribute to the goal of doubling food production in a sustainable manner by 2050. Soil health and food is one of the 5 mission areas for Horizon Europe and the findings from RootEd would be directly applicable to the EU’s Green deal and a Soil Deal for Europe. RootEd graduates will have a level of scientific, communication and digital skills mastery that enables them to move straight into employment in agri-food businesses, seed and breeding companies, advisory and scientific roles.

To achieve the objectives of the network, each Doctoral Researcher will undertake a combination of individual and collaborative research work, at least one secondment(international placement) and workshops on scientific and applied skills facilitated by the academic/non-academic members of the consortium.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Program offers a highly competitive and attractive salary and working conditions. Each fellowship includes the following:

• Enrollment in a PhD doctoral program. 
• ~€3400 per month gross living allowance.The exact salary will be confirmed upon appointment and is depending on the country of residence and the country-specific correction coefficients (to allow for the difference in cost of living in different EU Member States). This amount is subject to local taxes, social security deductions, etc.
• Mobility and family allowances, where applicable, and in line with the EC rules for Marie Sklodowska Curie Doctoral Networks 2021.These allowances are also subject to local taxes, social security deductions etc.
• A full-time contract with the recruiting institution. 
• ROOTED will offer an international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral training programme that promotes scientific excellence and exploits the expertise and infrastructure present in the consortium. In addition to their individual scientific projects, all the fellows will benefit from the Network Training Programme including international secondments, a variety of training modules, as well as transferable skills training and dissemination and public engagement activities.

Eligibility criteria

• Applicants must be doctoral candidates, i.e not already in possession of a doctoral degree at the date of recruitment.
• Mobility rule: researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (e.g. work, studies) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their recruitment date.
• Other eligibility criteria may apply depending on the recruiting institution. Please refer to the individual advertisements provided for each position.

DOCTORAL RESEARCHER 2- Roots of plant species mixtures to mitigate soil compaction in a changing climate

Host and PhD Awarding institution: Aarhus University, (AU), Denmark

Primary Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Lars J. Munkholm

Project Description: Soil degradation due to subsoil compaction is a major challenge in agriculture as natural recovery is very slow. Thus, targeted strategies areneeded to promote and speed up the recovery of compacted subsoils. Previous studies have shown recovery effects of deep-rooted plant species such as chicory, lucerne and lupin grown in monoculture.

We anticipate that growing plant mixtures with different root growth patterns and varying symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can increase the extent and rate of subsoil recovery after compaction. Yet, there is a lack of knowledge of the potential of such plant speciesmixtures to aid the recovery of compacted subsoils. The project will explore interactions between soil and roots as well as the impact of the root growth patterns on soil functioning using state-of- the-art methods.

Secondment(s):  University College Dublin (Ireland) and DLF-Seed (Denmark)

Required applicant profile:  Highly motivated, independent and enthusiastic doctoral researcher with relevant Master’s degree (Soil Science, Crop Science,Agronomy or closely related fields), excellent track record of academic achievement and a strong interest in conducting original research. Interest in soil structureand soil-plant-microbiome interactions is essential. Experience of working with experimental work in the field and laboratory is desirable.

Informal inquiries: [email protected]  

Application deadline:  30 April 2023

Project Description: The aim of this project is to observe soil exploration by plant roots in compacted soil to deduce the impacts of different plant hormones on this ability to overcome sub-optimum soil conditions. A greater understanding of the hormonal activators of root interactions with soil compaction is required. New state-of-the-art techniques and software for the reconstruction of 3D root systems in X-ray CT will be utilised for the quantification of root exploration. A shared library of root images in soil and associated ground truth data for training of AI models will be created.

Secondment(s): University of Nottingham (UK)

Required applicant profile: Highly motivated, independent and enthusiastic doctoral researcher with relevant bachelor or master’s degree, excellent track record of academic achievement and a strong interest in conducting original research on root system interactions with soils.

DOCTORAL RESEARCHER 4- Temporal observations of soil: root interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Applications will open soon. Details on how to apply will be provided here, please check back. 

DOCTORAL RESEARCHER 5- Investigating the role of the 3D soil matrix in mediating root to root interactions

Project description: The aim of this project is to understand how plants interact with neighbouring plants. Above-ground interactions are well defined while below-ground interactions are less well understood. Using X-ray CT, we can investigate the changes in root architecture and positioning in the presence of a neighbouring plant. We will test the role of nutrient availability and soil matrix in mediating root to root interactions between wheat and a known weed (blackgrass, Alopecurus myosuroides).

A new standardised method for root phenotyping in the presence of neighbouring plants will be used. Measurement of soil porosity in the rhizosphere and root architecture and positioning of wheat plants grown under different nutrient and soil matrix treatment combinations will be conducted.

Secondment(s): NIAB Regional Trial Network (UK)

Required applicant profile: Highly motivated, independent and enthusiastic doctoral researcher with a relevant bachelor or master’s degree in biological, agricultural or environmental sciences.
