PhD Position in Analytical Chemistry: Plant-Microbiome Molecular Dialogue

This doctoral position focuses on characterizing the molecular dialogue between Streptomyces bacteria and barley (Hordeum vulgare) to understand plant-microbiome interactions and stress tolerance. Jointly supervised by the LSMBO team at IPHC and the IBMP in Strasbourg, the successful candidate will apply and optimize state-of-the-art metabolomic and proteomic approaches using LC-MS/MS instrumentation. The research is integrated within the ANR StreptOmystress project, involving collaborative work with both academic and industrial partners. The candidate will be enrolled in the Doctoral School of Chemical Sciences at the University of Strasbourg.

• Optimize metabolomic and proteomic analytical approaches for plant-bacteria interactions
• Apply optimized LC-MS/MS methods to characterize molecular dialogues between host plants and Streptomyces
• Process and analyze complex mass spectrometry data using dedicated bioinformatics software
• Collaborate closely with academic and industrial partners within the framework of the ANR StreptOmystress project
• Prepare scientific reports, publications, and presentations for national and international conferences
