Postdoc in Mathematical Modeling of Fungal Plant Disease Dynamics

The University of Göttingen is offering a postdoctoral position focused on mathematical modeling of fungal plant disease dynamics. The successful candidate will engage in research that combines mathematical modeling with experimental plant pathology, utilizing a large dataset of high-resolution images of diseased wheat leaves. The role requires strong quantitative skills, familiarity with dynamical systems modeling, and the ability to communicate complex biological questions in mathematical terms. The position is fixed-term for 2.5 years, starting February 1, 2027, with a deadline for applications on September 11, 2026. The university promotes diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups.
