Postgraduate training
Presently, there are more than 30 postdoctoral and doctoral/master graduate students in our research group. We have extensive exchanges and cooperation with many distinguished universities/institutes and multinational enterprises at domestic and overseas. We welcome young people (students) who are interested in research of ecology and microbial pesticides to join our team. We hope to work together with you for the great interests of scientific research.
