I am a Plant Physiologist. Researchers in my lab study plant-environment-interactions. We use different approaches, ranging from experiments in climate controlled growth chambers, greenhouses, experimental plots in the field or natural field sites. We use biophysical methods to assess performance of plants, and molecular biology and next generation sequencing approaches to study transcriptome dynamics in non-model plant species. We also use remote sensing approaches for high-throughput plant phenotyping and studying vegetation dynamics and estimating biomass. I am always looking for students who are passionate about the physiology of plants and the mechanisms by which plants adjust function to changing environmental conditions.

Postdocs

If you are interested to apply to the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship program or the European Marie-Curie programme (If you are from the EC you can apply for postdoctoral fellowships abroad!) you are welcome to contact Ingo Ensminger. We are looking for people with new perspectives and skills to join our lab for working on the physiology of plants, global change and photosynthesis. You are the right peson if you have a strong background, interest and passion in the areas of molecular physiology of plants, biochemistry of plants, photosynthesis, boreal forests and trees, global change or bioinformatics.
