      • Metabolomics/ microbiome expertise, experience in study design and implementation of plant/soil metabolomic investigation, particularly around root exudates.
      • Familiar with the major approaches to study behaviour of chemicals in soil as transport and transformation processes.
      • Familiar with the below ground plant nutrition processes and root functionality
      • Familiar with microbial ecology investigations
      • Proven skills to work at different investigation scales from lab to the field.
      • Mastering wide range of analytical MS equipment
