How plants respond to increasing CO2 and climatic change is a large uncertainty for ecosystems, crop productivity and climate predictions. To tackle this uncertainty, we combine: growth chamber experiments, samples from world-unique CO2 experiments, cutting-edge NMR spectroscopy and isotopomer analysis (doi: 10.1111/nph.20358). Two postdocs will work together to conduct plant ecophysiology experiments, and to analyze samples by NMR spectroscopy.

position1 (application reference AN 2.2.1-651-25):
This postdoc with focus on plant ecophysiology will conduct growth chamber experiments with variation of environmental variables, do ecophysiological measurements on plants, interpret isotope fractionation in terms of shifts in plant carbon metabolism, and prepare results for presentation at conferences and publication.

position2 (application reference AN 2.2.1-652-25):
This postdoc with focus on NMR spectroscopy will conduct chemistry labwork to prepare samples for NMR, run NMR expermiments – in particular for quantification of isotopomers, interpret isotopomer abundances in terms of shifts in plant carbon metabolism, and prepare results for presentation at conferences and publication.
