**Plant Molecular Biologist; Plant Immunity**

A fixed term contract BBSRC funded Research Fellow position is available in the Grant laboratory, a well-funded group working on a range of challenges in the plant immune field, including; systemic signalling, metabolic immunity, inter-organellular communication and the molecular basis of immune suppression.

We seek a highly motivated and enthusiastic molecular biologist, ideally with some cell biology expertise and experience in plant immunity to work on understanding the role nucleoside derivatives generated by plant disease resistance proteins in dictating the outcomes of plant-pathogen interactions using the model pathosystem, _Arabidopsis thaliana -Pseudomonas syringae_.

This project focusses on the Toll-Interlukin 1 (TIR) class of plant disease resistance proteins (TNLs) which have NADase activity leading to the production of variant cADP-ribose (vcADPR). Remarkably, pathogens deploy TIR domains to produce different v-cADPRs that interfere with plant immune signalling. This project will dissect how these contrasting TIR domain products impact the immune outcome. It involves collaborators in the USA, Hong Kong and Australia and deploys a range of pre-existing tools and techniques including real time imaging, RNAseq, CRISPR, genetically encoded reporters and targeted mass spectrometry to achieve this objective. Warwick has excellent facilities for this research including state-of-the-art imaging suite and one of the UKs leading Mass Spectrometry facilities.

**About You**

You will have experience in the field of plant biology, be motivated, inquisitive, an independent worker but also a team player with excellent time management skills. You will have a demonstrable knowledge of plant molecular biology and new developments in the field of immunity and possess a suite of fundamental plant molecular biology skills.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
