La Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena busca un estudiante para una pasantía en un proyecto europeo sobre tecnologías de riego. El candidato participará en ensayos en invernadero y laboratorio, adquiriendo habilidades técnicas en microbiología y participando en un equipo internacional. Se valorará la formación en Agronomía, Biología o Biotecnología.
Overview : The student is expected to be involved in a European project, Hort2the Future, related to the use of new irrigation technologies to prevent soil compaction and soil-borne diseases.
Key Responsibilities : During the stay, the student will participate in various activities within the project, including greenhouse trials and laboratory assays to study plant infection responses to micro- and nanobubbles in irrigation water.
Molecular biology methodologies applied will include:
to identify and quantify pathogens. Additionally, plant physiological parameters such as photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, and root growth will be measured.
Skills Developed :
Reflection : This internship will provide the student with knowledge about innovative techniques (macro- and nano-bubbles) in irrigation systems to manage soil compaction, oxygenation issues in the root zone, and soil-borne infections.
The student will join a research team consisting of 3 senior researchers, 1 postdoctoral researcher, 2 master's students, and 1 technician, participating in online meetings with other European partners.
Previous Work Experience : Master's or undergraduate students in Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Biology, or Biotechnology should demonstrate:
