- One (1) post in the topic: “Trunk diseases of tree fruit crops - Etiology, epidemiology and management”
Description: The scope of the thesis is to unravel and characterize the composition of the fungal microbiome associated with trunk diseases of tree fruit crops in Cyprus. The candidate will conduct field epidemiology studies on dominant causal agents causing relevant diseases under Cyprus conditions. Research on aspects of disease management will be also performed.
Required Qualifications: Candidates should hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from accredited Universities in Agricultural Sciences. The candidates should enjoy performing a combination of applied/field and basic research, whereas experience in molecular and microbiological assays will be considered an asset. Candidates should also perform very well in English (writing and verbal skills).
Funding: Funding is possible through sources of the responsible research advisor.
