ForestPlots & SECO are looking for a highly motivated individual with excellent data management and communication skills including in Portuguese to support a global scientific collaboration
🌳🔍 Exciting insights from our latest study in @PNASNews! We've delved "underground" into the dynamics of forests and savannas, looking at the role of the water table in shaping these environments. Curious about our findings? Let's dive in! 🧵https://t.co/N3hKg9AoY6 1/5
Two post-doc positions will be soon available in my lab at the University of Trento (Italy) focusing on:
1) Early detection of water stress in grapevine
2) Grapevine acclimation to multifactorial stress combination
