Thanks to my amazing friends, we will be sponsoring at least 10 people for international passports this year! Eligibility clue Prospective graduate student Minimum of 2.1 I appreciate everyone who in the last 24h jumped to be a part of this project!

I am very happy and excited to have joined MPIPZ Cologne in the group of Stéphane Hacquard as a post doctoral researcher 😁🙌!! I look forward to sharing with you my future research on cross-kingdom metabolic interactions 🌱🦠🍄!!

A PhD position is open in my group MPIPZ Cologne to work on the interplay between the plant cell wall, innate immunity and the root microbiota! Cool collaboration with Robertas Ursache CRAG. We want you!!! Please apply via the link below👇. Please RT 🙏.

Hello world! Several #ERC-funded #PhD and #postdoc positions are available in my group MPIPZ Cologne to study the microbiota-root-shoot axis in plant health and disease. Join the MICROBIOSIS team here: jobs.mpipz.mpg.de/jobposting/fab… Deadline: May 9th. #PlantSciJobs. Please RT/share 🙏

Time to say goodbye... I’ll dearly miss the community MPIPZ Cologne and Universität zu Köln, all the wonderful colleagues that I have met along the way, my commute through Cologne and so much more that’s not fitting in a single tweet. Thanks everyone, it’s been a blast 🙏
