Filip Pošćić is a Senior Research Scientist at the Root Physiology Laboratory, K.A. Timiryazev Institute of Plant Physiology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. He earned his PhD in Economics, Ecology and Preservation of Agricultural and Landscape-Environmental Systems from the University of Udine, Italy, in 2012, after earning a Biology degree (equivalent to an MSc) from the University of Trieste, Italy, in 2007. He has held research and postdoctoral positions at the University of Arizona (USA), Ruhr University Bochum (Germany), where he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship (2019–2021), the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in Split (Croatia), and the University of Udine (Italy). His research focuses on plant physiology and the mechanisms underlying metal and salt tolerance, uptake, and accumulation. A particular interest is metal hyperaccumulation—the ability of certain plants (hyperaccumulators) to accumulate exceptionally high concentrations of metals in their above-ground tissues. He investigates this phenomenon in wild plant species growing in both metal-rich soils, such as those at legacy mining sites, and non-contaminated soils, an occurrence that remains insufficiently recognized. His broader interests include phytoremediation, plant–soil–microbe interactions, plant nutrition, and plant responses to abiotic stress. He is a member of the Asia Association of Plant Scientists and the PLANTMETALS network.
