Lukessa on väikkärintekijän paikka mikromuoveja tutkivassa Akatemiahankkeessa.
We are searching a PhD researcher for project unravelling the effect of microplastics on plant and soil health. The PhD candidate will work intensively in labs within international research environment under the mentorship of leading experts in the field. We are living in a plastic age. Since 1950s humans created more than 8 billion tons of plastic (nowadays 200-300 million tons per year). In agriculture plastics are used to improve crop protection and plant performance. However, these plastics due to degradation provide micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) to the soil. MNPs are recently recognized as a potential threat to living organisms, biodiversity, and agricultural eco-system functioning, leading to planned restrictions by the European Commission. However, we still do not understand how MNPs are affecting plants and C and nutrient cycling in the soil. Would you like to join the team aiming to unravel the effect of MNPs on plant yield and soil C and nutrient cycles? We are looking for a PhD student to join multidisciplinary (biogeochemistry, microbiology, plant biochem-istry) plant-soil-microbe-MNPs interaction group in Luke. This position is an excellent opportunity to develop a scientific career and work with leading groups in the field across Europe. The person will be involved in ongoing projects studying effect of MNPs on plant and soil health.
