Plant Science PhD Research Position
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to contribute to our research team focused on understanding the evolution of fungicide resistance. The project involves theoretical and experimental approaches to investigate the mechanisms of resistance development in Zymoseptoria tritici.
As part of this role, you will work closely with mathematical modellers and an experimental biologist to develop mathematical models predicting resistance evolution, which you will test using experimental evolution and competition assays.
Responsibilities include generating near-isogenic transformants with combinatorial sets of CYP51 mutations, analyzing the effects of mutations on fungicide resistance, and applying population genetic and epidemiological models to determine viable evolutionary pathways.
To be eligible, applicants must hold an Honours Degree (or equivalent) with a minimum of 2.1 in Plant Science or Applied Statistics. This opportunity is open to UK, EU, and international candidates.
Remuneration for this position includes a £28,500 - £33,000 annual salary, based on qualifications and experience.
