EU-funded PhD opportunity in South Africa in Wine Science Communication
Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) islooking for a full-time PhD student to join our three-year ‘Eco2Wine’ Doctoral Network Programme, starting in 2024. This research programme will focus on closing the gap between microbiomics, winemakers and the public. Wine microbiomics aims to use the microbial biodiversity naturally associated with healthy vines and vineyards as a tool for innovation in winemaking, to produce sustainable, eco-friendly wines while improving vineyard management and offering consumers a broader choice of wines. The student will be based at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, but will also spend time with project partners in other wine-growing regions of the world.
