ALT Unlike many other plants, Cannabis sativa (hemp) produces male and female individuals. Sex determination is genetic, but the exact molecular pathways involved remain elusive.
In this project, we will use genomics and transcriptomics to identify genes controlling sex determination in Cannabis.
If you have a BSc or MSc in life sciences or bioinformatics and are interested in plants, this project is for you!
Specific roles:
PhD student 1:
Analysis of a mapping population segregating for sex expression
Genome sequencing, assembly and annotation
Genetic analyses
4 year fellowship, €18,500 per year
PhD student 2:
Analysis of the effect of plant hormones on sex expression
Transcriptomics
Plant growth and phenotyping
4 year fellowship, €18,500 per year
To apply, send a letter of motivation, CV, your academic transcripts and contact details of 2 academic references in a single pdf file to rainer.melzer@ucd.ie
Deadline for applications: 30th September 2022

Amazing effort from the entire @Hemp4Soil team. Sad I missed out on the final sampling but @WAHemp absolutely smashed it. The future is bright, the future is hemp!

Special mention also to Dr Carol Melody @teagasc Horticulture Lecturer from the Botantic Gardens visited Loop Head with 3rd year BSc Horticulture students.
The group carried out a worm assessment on the Hemp4Soil plots. Data collected will be used for their final year projects
Special mention to @WAHemp for collecting additional rhizosphere soil samples for @Randall_K_C to take a deep dive into the #hemp rhizosphere from our organically grown, ground seeded field trials
#Hemp4Soil project update. Please see link below for a detailed explanation of our experimental setup. We are very excited to report we have the first signs of hemp growing across the sites. Roll on summer time! facebook.com/Hemp4Soil/
Such a great initiative in County Clare, Ireland. A network of farmers have joined together to grow hemp. #hemp4soil hopes to reduce the reliance on chemical fertilisers and improve the quality of the soil. @WAHemp@hempcooperative Read more here bit.ly/3EapLpV
I was very close to Cian, who went missing over in Grand Teton National Park. Please share this post as widely as you can. Especially with American contacts or people who could have been in the park at that time.
