6-month fixed-term research contract
The objective of this research position is to advance our understanding of the foliar uptake of nanoparticles by plants. The researcher will participate in scientific literature monitoring to publish a review on the latest knowledge on the subject. Additionally, they will synthesize the results obtained within the framework of the European ERC StG project "LEAPHY" to valorize them through publications in specialized journals, as well as for the general public.
Activités
The researcher will be responsible for the following activities:
Conducting a comprehensive review of the literature on the foliar uptake of nanoparticles by plants, with an emphasis on biological mechanisms and factors influencing this process.
Writing scientific articles synthesizing the results obtained within the LEAPHY project, particularly regarding the effect of nanoparticle hydrophobicity on foliar uptake, and strategies for managing atmospheric copper by agricultural plants.
Teamwork on scientific valorization: Collaborating with the team on writing publications and presenting results at international conferences.
Compétences
PhD in Environmental Geosciences, Environmental Engineering, or related field.
Demonstrated experience and independence in analyzing complex datasets.
Experience in the process of writing and publishing scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Experience in the themes of nanoparticle-plant interactions and the fate of associated nanomaterials.
