Tasks

• Postdoc position in the third party-funded project „Optimisation of chemoecologically mediated resistance against the pollen beetle and the introgression in oilseed rape (CHEMOEKOSEED)“ (https://bioenergie.fnr.de/index.php?id=13747&fkz=2222NR092B)
• Screening of various intergeneric hybrid lines of oilseed rape and secondary plant metabolites with regard to their feeding-inhibiting effect against the pollen beetle in bioassays
• Implementation and coordination of field trials and laboratory assays with selected oilseed rape hybrids
• Identification of non-volatile and volatile plant metabolites mediating pest resistance in oilseed rape using liquid chromatography and gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry
