Delia spp. PostDoc positions and fellowships

This postdoctoral associate position at Cornell University’s Department of Horticulture focuses on developing and evaluating non‑neonicotinoid seed‑applied protection strategies for early‑season pests in New York cropping systems. The role involves laboratory, greenhouse, controlled‑environment, and field experiments, seed coating formulation, data analysis, manuscript preparation, mentoring of undergraduate assistants, and stakeholder engagement. A Ph.D. in a related field is required, and the position offers an annual salary of $63,480.

The Postdoctoral Associate in Seed Biology and Technology at Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will conduct research on seed-applied, non-neonicotinoid protection strategies targeting early-season crop pests such as Delia spp. in New York cropping systems. The role involves designing and executing laboratory, greenhouse, controlled-environment, and field experiments to evaluate seed coating integrity, delivery of plant defense signaling compounds, and interactions with seed pathogens and early-season pest pressure under cold soil conditions. The associate will contribute to developing seed treatment compatibility guidelines and biologically based pest management approaches aligned with New York State IPM priorities and the phase-out of neonicotinoid seed treatments.

The postdoctoral scholarship at Umeå University focuses on synthesizing tumor-associated glycopeptides and glycopeptide vaccine constructs to generate antibodies for cancer immunotherapy and diagnostics. The project involves carbohydrate and bioorganic chemistry, microarray epitope mapping, and immunological assays. Candidates will gain expertise in Fmoc-SPPS, enzymatic synthesis, protecting group chemistry, and analytical techniques such as NMR, mass spectrometry, HPLC, and ELISA. Funding is provided by the Kempe Foundations with a tax‑free stipend of SEK 360,000 per year for two years, starting September 2026.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in the Stringhini Laboratory at the University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Health focuses on ageing research at the intersection of life-course epidemiology, causal inference, and artificial intelligence. The fellow will lead statistical analyses on multi‑cohort longitudinal data, develop and apply causal inference and counterfactual mediation methods, implement machine learning/AI approaches for high‑dimensional epidemiological data, and contribute to manuscript preparation, conference presentations, and mentoring of graduate students. The appointment is for one year, renewable, with a salary of CAD 60,000–75,000 per annum.

This PhD position focuses on uncovering the genomic and genetic basis of temperature responsiveness in the model plant Snowdrop (Galanthus spp.) and Arabidopsis thaliana. The successful candidate will develop and apply cutting‑edge genomics (Iso‑Seq, RNA‑seq) and phenomics tools to map natural genetic variation, generate a reference transcriptome for Snowdrop, and model dose‑response phenotypes. The project integrates experimental work, bioinformatics, citizen science initiatives, and collaboration with the Plant Stress Resilience group at Utrecht University, offering interdisciplinary training in plant stress biology.

This postdoctoral fellowship in the Bosmann Laboratory at Boston University focuses on immunology and host–pathogen interactions, particularly bacterial polyphosphates in mucosal immunity at gut and lung barriers. Projects explore IBD-related immunity, pneumonia and sepsis, using mouse models, single‑cell transcriptomics, phospho‑proteomics, and cytokine signaling. Candidates will investigate innate immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and T cells, and work with pathogens including E. coli, S. pneumoniae, and Legionella spp.

This postdoctoral position at Heriot-Watt University focuses on experimental development of 2D SPAD arrays for quantum networking within the EPSRC-funded QUANTA project. The researcher will advance quantum key distribution systems using the Hub Optical Ground Station, collaborating with University of Edinburgh experts. Essential requirements include a PhD in quantum optics/photonics, hands-on detector experience, and publication record. The 18-month role (extendable to 36 months) offers £37,694-£47,389 salary and access to cutting-edge satellite quantum infrastructure for secure global communications.

The Postdoctoral Researcher position at the University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) focuses on joint communications and radar sensing for 6G non-terrestrial networks. The role involves developing signal processing and machine learning algorithms for 3GPP-compliant 5G/6G NR NTN OFDM waveforms, designing self-interference cancellation techniques, and implementing solutions on SDR/FPGA testbeds. Candidates will conduct measurement campaigns, publish results, contribute to ESA projects, and co‑supervise PhD/MSc students.

This PhD position develops computational frameworks for inverse design of sustainable structural metals, focusing on lean Al-Ca alloys for additive manufacturing. Candidates will create automated microstructure reconstruction workflows, establish structure-property linkages through numerical simulations, and implement AI-driven optimization to identify target microstructures. The role involves close collaboration with experimental partners within the DFG Priority Programme SPP 2489, requiring strong computational mechanics expertise and programming skills to advance recyclable metal design.

This PhD position at Wageningen University & Research focuses on uncovering the genomic and genetic basis of temperature responses in the iconic snowdrop (Galanthus spp.) and Arabidopsis thaliana. The successful candidate will develop and apply cutting‑edge transcriptomic (Iso‑Seq, RNAseq) and phenomic tools to model dose‑response relationships, generate a reference transcriptome for snowdrops, and lead a citizen‑science initiative to collect diverse snowdrop accessions. Working within the Laboratory of Nematology and in close collaboration with the Plant Stress Resilience group at Utrecht University, the project integrates experimental work at the Netherlands Plant Eco‑Phenotyping Center (NPEC) with bioinformatic analysis. The role offers a fully funded contract, competitive salary according to the CAO‑NU scale P, and extensive training opportunities within the Graduate School of Experimental Plant Sciences (EPS).
