Our lab studies how evolutionarily conserved plant cell & development processes shape interactions with beneficial and detrimental intracellular filamentous microbes and how microbes modulate such processes.
For this advertised project position, we are looking for a plant cell biologist with a strong interest in the model system Marchantia and comparative studies with flowering plants.
The aim of the project is to understand plant processes for barrier formation, cell
- and tissue function etc which enable or restrict detrimental and beneficial filamentous microbes. The plant immune system or microbiological work with the microbe are not the focus of this study.
You must have or be close to finishing a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g., plant cell biology, plant development, plant-microbe interactions with a focus on plant processes, or related fields). Previous experience in plant cell biology or plant development is essential and experience in histology or plant cell wall biology is of advantage. Proficiency in standard molecular cloning (Gateway, GoldenGate) and quantitative PCR and RNAseq analysis is also required.
You will be fully involved in the research whilst also writing up your research work for presentation and publication. You may be required to assist in the supervision of student projects and deliver seminars relating to your research area.
Good communication skills are required because you will be working in a team and collaborating with other researchers at the institute as well as a larger, international team of researchers. You should ideally have published (including preprints on sites like Biorxiv) in the field of plant biology. You should have a track record of science communication (e.g., presentations, outreach activities, teaching).
Where a PhD has yet to be awarded the appointment will initially be made at Research Assistant level and amended to Research Associate upon the award of PhD.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2.5 years in the first instance.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
