Overview Of Role

Applications are invited from talented, motivated and highly committed researchers for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant position in the Department of Bionteractions and Crop Protection to join a new exciting project on the genetic improvement of mungbean, one of the most popular pulse crops in India, for resistance to fungal diseases Cercospora Leaf Spot and Powdery Mildew.

The project is a partnership between Rothamsted Research and two research organisations in India and is supported by the Newton Bhabha Fund and BBSRC within the Pulses & oilseeds research initiative.

Previous first author publications in reputable peer reviewed journals is also desirable.

The post holder will be responsible for performing innovative research of international quality aimed at gaining an in-depth understanding of the different host-pathogen interactions, developing novel molecular genetics and genomics tools for mungbean disease resistance breeding, and utilising powerful emerging technologies such as RNA-interference/Host-induced gene silencing and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9) for engineering broad-spectrum resistance to these economically damaging diseases.

This is a full-time, fixed term post funded until 30 September 2021 and has a starting salary within the range of £29,842 to £32,315 per annum depending on the profile and experience.
