“Collective motion of Phytophthora zoospores”

Institut Sophia Agrobiotech (ISA), Team IPO (Eric Galiana)

Institut de Physique de Nice (INFNI), Team MIMIC (Xavier Noblin)

Summary : A 1-year postdoctoral position is available at the Institut Sophia Agrobiotech (ISA, INRA -Université Côte d’Azur-CNRS) at Sophia Antipolis, France. The lab is hiring a postdoc to work on a collaborative project involving biologists and physicists, funded by UCA-JEDI (Plant bioprotection and Biostimulation program). The study is focused on understanding how Phytophthora zoospores control their motion in relation to their ability of undergoing aggregation in vitro and biofilm formation on host surface. The goal is to delineate signaling and cellular responses, as well as metrics of zoospores as active matter during collective motion.
