The Department of Food Science, Aarhus University (Denmark), invites highly talented and motivated candidates to apply for a 36-month postdoc position in crop physiology and biochemistry. The starting date is 1st March 2026, or subject to mutual agreement. The research project This postdoc position is part of a Novo Nordisk funded project that aims to uncover how the regulation of photosynthesis and sugar transport and accumulation— particularly via the key enzyme Rubisco—is affected by drought and heat stress in sweet potato, a vital but under-researched staple crop for nutrition in many developing countries, and a potential for a new future crop in Scandinavia. Using sweet potato as a physiological model, the research will identify key metabolic bottlenecks in the plant’s source–sink relationship (leaf to storage root sugar allocation) that limit yield under climate stress. Through advanced physiological, biochemical, and omics approaches, the project will reveal how to maintain or even enhance yield stability under future climate scenarios using a panel of genotypes. Although sweet potato is the model, the findings will provide a fundamental framework applicable to major food crops such as potato and tomato, contributing broadly to more climate-resilient agriculture.
