DWith its work, the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) contributes to a better understanding of plant systems and thus to the development of sustainable and resilient horticulture.

The IGZ conducts research at the interface between plants, humans and the environment. In doing so, we address systemic and global challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, urbanization and malnutrition. We provide scientifically sound recommendations for healthy agri-food systems and sustainable interactions with the environment. The IGZ brings together a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Employees with different backgrounds conduct research in national and international research co-operations. The IGZ is based in Großbeeren near Potsdam and near Berlin and is a member of the Leibniz Association.

  • To strengthen our team within the BMEL funded project "Reduction of nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions through processing crop residues in vegetable farming" we look for an enthusiastic and ambitious
  • Scientist (f,m,div) in the area "Plant physiological aspects and modelling in aquaponics systems"
