Our research themes span molecular and precision bioscience, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, microbiology, plants and food security, and ecology and evolution, with our research ranked in the top 10 for impact (REF2021).   

PLANT SCIENCES (Associate Professor/Professor) With expertise in plant biochemistry, physiology or developmental biology your research will address fundamental questions in the field, potentially addressing today's key societal challenges. You will join a growing team of researchers investigating areas from fundamental plant science to the interactions of plants with their environment.
