please #Share / Boost widely in your #AcademicNetworks : A #SeniorLecturerPosition in botany and mycology with a research activity in #PlantPhysiology will be open for competition in spring 2026 at the Silva joint research unit / Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France.

https://silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/actualites/postes-de-mc-a-l-universite-de-lorraine

The lecturer will be involved in teaching (lectures, tutorials and practical work) as part of the pharmaceutical studies programme, focusing mainly on botany, mycology and plant biology. Teaching has to be done in French.
Whereas the research will focus on the acclimation of trees by molecular mechanisms to the increasingly severe environmental constraints (ozone, drought, heat waves). The research will be done int he PHARE team
