Research Associate On Plant-microbe Interactions
1 month ago
We seek a Research Associate with expertise in **plant-microbe interactions, microbial ecology, and omics/sequencing** to investigate how microbes can be used to improve the growth of crops in controlled environments.
The project will focus on the development of probiotics for lettuce grown under hydroponic conditions. Intensive soil-less agriculture has the potential to revolutionise agricultural production of high-value crops. Microbes growing in hydroponics rigs can both help and hinder crop production, but the role of microbes within these systems remains understudied. You will lead a series of experiments that manipulate and track the microbial communities associated with lettuce and seek to identify microbes that confer protection to plant pathogens and are beneficial for lettuce growth.
**Duties and responsibilities**:
You will be responsible for assisting with the setup of a new hydroponics rig, planning and conducting the experiments, and analysing and preparing the results for publication. You would also be responsible for coordination with the team at ConcertBio.
**Essential requirements**:
- Hold, or be near completion of, a PhD in plant-microbe interactions or related field or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
- Broad interest in plant-microbe interactions
- Good laboratory skills, especially for working with microbial cultures and plants.
- Knowledge of how to analyse and interpret omics datasets. Knowledge of 16S rRNA and transcriptomics pipelines would be particularly beneficial.
- Good communication skills, both in terms of written skills and for presentation of the work
**Further information**:
The post is funded by Innovate UK.
