EPSO Young Plant Scientist Award

EPSO wishes to encourage the development of ideas and imaginative thinking in the plant sciences and, therefore, offers two awards to young scientists planning on attending the Plant Biology Europe EPSO/FESPB joint congress to be held in Prague on June 26th–30th, 2016.

The awards will cover registration and travel to the meeting and will include the opportunity to present a lecture on the winner’s research (15 minutes) during a plenary session of the congress; each awardee will receive 200 €. Applications are invited from PhD students working on either fundamental or applied aspects of research on plants. One award will be offered in each category.

Max Planck Research Group

The Jagiellonian University in Krakow and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft announce a Max Planck Research Group in the area of Biophysics, Molecular Plant Sciences or Neurobiology. The group will be located at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The successful candidate should be early in her/his scientific career. The candidate is expected to develop an internationally competitive research program. Ideally, the scientific activities would complement ongoing research at the University and at the host institute of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
