Research Assistant/research Associate
2 weeks ago
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate in Cassava genetics to work with Prof Uta Paszkowski at the Crop Science Centre, starting 1st April 2023.
Association of plant root systems with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can improve crop nutrition, growth and yield. Across different crop species, genetic variation exists that underpins the extent of benefit from the interaction. Despite its potential for improving crop performance sustainably, breeding programmes so far have not prioritised 'mycorrhizal responsiveness' as a target trait. With the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable nutrition for water-saving rice cultivation, this project wishes to explore the genetic diversity underpinning mycorrhizal benefit.
The projected research will work with GWAS data obtained from prior efforts focusing on a diversity panel of rice indica varieties and also extend into Africa-relevant germplasm.
Applicants must have a solid background in plant genetics; available knowledge in basic bioinformatics, would be advantageous.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 March 2028 in the first instance.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
