Phytopathology

Investigate how soil microbiomes influence potato resistance to Phytophthora infestans and Ralstonia solanacearum. The ResistoBiome project combines automated plant phenotyping, microbial sequencing, predictive modelling and experimental validation of protective microbes. The initial 18-month appointment can extend to four years following a positive assessment. Apply with a CV, a one-page motivation letter and contact details for two referees.

Two faculty appointments in the Laboratory of Phytopathology will develop new approaches to plant–pathogen interactions, disease resilience and pathogen adaptation. Relevant directions include theoretical phytopathology, predictive modelling, quantitative immunity and structural biology. The roles combine research funding, teaching, supervision, collaboration and staff mentoring within the university’s Professor Career Paths framework. Apply online by 10 October inclusive; applications are reviewed regularly and posts may fill earlier.
