London, Greater London, United Kingdom Scholarshipscafe Full time

This research opportunity is open to individuals with a strong background in plant science. The project aims to investigate the evolution of fungicide resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici, a fungal pathogen affecting wheat crops.

The research team will consist of mathematical modellers and an experimental biologist. As a research scientist, you will develop mathematical models to predict resistance evolution, which you will test using experimental evolution and competition assays.

Key responsibilities include generating near-isogenic transformants with combinatorial sets of CYP51 mutations, quantifying mutation effects on fungicide resistance, and applying population genetic and epidemiological models to discover evolutionary trajectories.

This position requires an Honours Degree (or equivalent) with a minimum of 2.1 in Plant Science or Applied Statistics. We welcome applications from UK, EU, and international candidates.

The successful candidate will be entitled to a competitive £26,000 - £30,000 salary per annum, depending on experience.
