There is funding to recruit a Senior Research Technician on FA5 for 24 months with an extension subject to sufficient funding

We are seeking an enthusiastic, hard-working and dedicated individual to support our dynamic lab’s research on various aspects of plant immunity. You will join a well-funded lab (predominately BBSRC supported) undertaking interdisciplinary discovery research on plant disease resistance, systemic immunity and suppression of plant defence. We use multiple approaches, integrating genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and imaging (whole plants and subcellular) to dissect host and pathogen responses. Our ultimate objective is improved plant disease resistance for enhanced food security. Ideally you will have experience in plant molecular pathology, a strong interest in scientific research and a willingness to engage, interact and discover. A clean driver’s licence is a mandatory requirement. The successful candidate will take full responsibility for all plant husbandry and phytobacterial culture maintenance and receive full training and mentoring across techniques they are unfamiliar with.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with expertise in plant molecular pathology, and minimally plant biology or bacterial microbiology, but we also welcome applications from enthusiastic people with a passion for science, a team player, excellent interpersonal and wet bench laboratory skills. Applicants should be proficient in basic molecular biology but those with experience/expertise in other experimental techniques (metabolomics, biochemistry, imaging) and a passion for discovery are welcome to apply. Applicants must have a clean drivers licence.
