PhD: Recombination in Plant Viruses - Imaging & Modeling

University of Exeter; Devon and Torbay; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 24,000; Full time

Job summary

University of Exeter invites applications for an interdisciplinary PhD studentship focused on the recombination of plant viruses. The project combines quantitative image analysis, machine learning, and mathematical modelling to identify when and where recombination occurs in infected plants, linking cellular events to tissue-wide patterns.

You will validate model predictions experimentally using plant pathology and molecular biology techniques, and develop a novel fluorescent protein-based tool
