Two PhD Scholarships in Plant Molecular Biology and Horticultural Tree Genomics
The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is offering two postgraduate research scholarships to ambitious PhD candidates for a 3-year PhD program of research to commence in 2025. Read more
Bidirectional mobile sRNA signalling in pea-downy mildew interactions
Plants are constantly being challenged by microbial pathogens and they have evolved the capacity to detect and defend against these incoming microbes. Read more
Development of Plant-Derived Polymers to Enhance Taste and Lubrication in Plant-Based Food Products
This PhD project aims to develop plant-derived polymers and proteins that enhance the sensory qualities, particularly the taste and mouthfeel, of plant-based food products. Read more
MSc by Research: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more
Developing synthetic microbial communities for the control of pea downy mildew
Demand for food production is increasing due to growing global population, reduced land availability for agriculture, concern over the effects of the environment on agriculture, and decreasing yield reliability because of climate change. Read more
Younger, happier and more productive plants: using developmental genetics to improve herb yields and quality
If you’ve ever grown coriander at home you’ll have noticed that once the plant flowers it no longer produces the leaves used for seasoning. Read more
Dissecting cell wall glucan function in intercellular signalling and plant environmental interactions
Apply to join the Benitez-Alfonso team in their quest to dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function of beta-1,3 glucan polymers in plant growth and development. Read more
Unravelling the mechanisms behind plant stress sensing
Agricultural production and food security are severely threatened by the loss of arable land and climate change, with increasingly harsher droughts, floods, and heat waves reducing crop productivity by more than 50%. Read more
PhD Position in Plant Stress Physiology - Fungal volatile organic compounds for sustainable agriculture in a changing environment
Environmental changes pose significant threats to primary production, generating a critical need for innovative, effective solutions to maintain production in the face of a changing climate. Read more
Sciences Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia
UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Molecular mechanics of clustering and gating in plant ion channels
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. The organisation of ion channels in eukaryotic membranes is intimately connected with their activity, but the mechanics of the connections are, in general, poorly understood. Read more
