澳大利亚昆士兰大学博士后—作物生态生理学与作物建模

昆士兰大学（The University of Queensland），简称“昆大”“UQ” ，该校始建于1909年，是一所位于澳大利亚昆士兰州的公立综合性大学。同时还是六所砂岩学府之一，环太平洋大学联盟、澳大利亚八校联盟、UNIVERSITAS 21、国际铁路联盟及新工科教育国际联盟等组织成员。

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Crop Eco-Physiology and Crop Modelling

University of Queensland

About This Opportunity

This position is industry funded and aligned to a collaboration between UQ- QAAFI's Centre for Crop Sciences, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), and the Liebniz Institute for Crop Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) Germany.

The project aims to overcome the field phenotyping bottleneck for impactful root traits that limits the capacity of breeders and agronomists to achieve step gains in crop productivity, by selecting genotypes and precision agronomic interventions that increase drought tolerance in wheat and sorghum. A key focus is to develop functional high-throughput in-field root phenotyping tools for traits that are valuable, show genetic diversity and agronomic application, and that will contribute to yield and yield stability. The project involves a large multi-disciplinary team of National and International researchers on breeding, crop physiology, proximal crop and root sensing, and crop modelling. Commercial partners include all mayor seed breeding companies for wheat and sorghum in Australia as well as the main service providers of digital agriculture products.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Key responsibilities will include:

Research

Design and perform experiments and routine laboratory analyses, under broad direction.

Assist the team in implementing complex field and controlled environment experimentation.

Carry out and coordinate observations, many with complex instrumentation, following project protocols and carry out electronic data handling and data checking.
