Want to participate to the outstanding new area of agro-genomics ? To put into the practice how biotechnologies in crops contribute to provide healthy and high-quality food in a sustainable way to humankind? Strong interest in plant transformation, plant in vitro culture and molecular biology?

Skoltech is looking for a competent and dedicated PhD student to work on the development of double haploids, which can significantly reduce the time to obtain pure lines and, as such, speed up the plant breeding program. However, there are no efficient methods for double haploidisation in sunflower and sugar beet.The main goal of the project is to implement a recent disruptive agrobiotechnology method based on the genome editing of the centromeric histone CENH3, which opens a new avenue for the generation of haploid-inducing lines.

Skoltech is looking for a motivated and talented PhD student who wants to work on Omics and genome editing to identify new genetic sources of resistance to anthracnose in white lupin. The anthracnose agent, Colletotrichum spp., has been listed as one of the top ten fungal pathogens of scientific and economic importance. Infected lupin fields with C. lupini can cause significant yield loss, with 0.1% of infected seeds resulting in more than 50% yield loss. Lupin's lack of resistance to C. lupini restricts its use in rotation systems.

Skoltech is looking for a motivated and talented PhD student to work on creating and characterization of a set of strains of Hermitia illucens strains whose larvae have specific phenotypic properties to meet the demands of industrial growers. The Black Soldier Fly (Hermitia illucens) is a powerful and efficient bio-convertor of different types of organic waste. The conversion rate and large-scale efficiency can be greatly improved by quantitative and molecular genetics approaches as well as modern biological technologies, e.g., genome editing.
This PhD project is part of a start-up project supported by STRIP program of Skoltech.
