Contract Type: Postdoctoral position, 24 months full-time
Main Description:
Eco-evolutionary modeling of aphid and host tree life history in relation to climate change. This position is part of the FORSHARK project funded by ANR (French National Research Agency), which investigates how climate change affects the epidemiology of sharka disease transmitted by aphids in Prunus trees.
