We are currently recruiting for a fully-funded PhD research project in collaboration with Nicola Patron at the Earlham Institute and Benjy Lichman.    If you are interested in plant immunity, gene regulation, how gene regulatory networks control plant phenotypes and synthetic biology then this … Continue reading →

We are currently recruiting for a fully-funded PhD research project in collaboration with Tozer Seeds.  The aim of the project is to elucidate conserved gene regulatory networks that drive plant immunity against fungal pathogens. The research will identify transcriptional regulators … Continue reading →

We are currently recruiting for a fully-funded Masters by Research project in collaboration with Daphne Ezer.  This will investigate the impact of natural sunrises on yield and disease resistance in indoor farming.  It will determine whether a light and immunity morning gene network … Continue reading →

Please see the opportunities for PhDs starting in Oct 2022 below. Plant disease resistance and pathogen virulence One project offered within the BBSRC White Rose Doctoral Training Programme focuses on transcriptional regulatory networks in both pathogen and host. In a collaboration … Continue reading →
