Fully Funded PhD in Investigating the ‘Cry-for-Help’ Effect in Wheat John Innes Centre in United Kingdom

PhD research internship opportunity at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in collaboration with AgBS and AGC . The project focuses on the characterization and inoculation of rhizosheath bacteria , with a strong research emphasis on plant-microbe interactions , soil microbiology , and microbial inoculation . This opportunity is aimed at PhD researchers who are interested in microbiology and plant-associated microbial systems. The post does not mention funding details or a deadline, but it ...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on grassland fungi recovery after disturbance , with a strong focus on fungal ecology , biodiversity , microbiology , bioinformatics , genomics , soil science , and environmental biology . The project asks how long it takes fungal communities in unimproved, sensitively grazed lowland grasslands to recover after disturbance such as ploughing. These habitats are important for plant health, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage, but their fungal commu...

Earlham Institute in the UK is advertising 9 PhD studentships for an October 2027 start. The advertised research themes include plant gene regulation , genome language models , and fisheries pangenomics , making this a strong opportunity for students interested in the intersection of AI, biology, genomics, and computational life sciences . This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities, Minneapolis, United States) in the Schlatter and Khokhani labs. This opening focuses on microbial legacies of alfalfa cropping , corn-associated microbiomes , plant health , plant pathology , microbiome analysis , metagenomics , and bioinformatics . The project uses existing multi-year amplicon datasets from the University of Minnesota Long-Term Agricultural Research Network and expands them with deep metagenomic sequencing, mic...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on wheat rust resistance , soil microbial diversity , rhizosphere microbiology , and plant-microbe interactions . The project, led by Prof Diane Saunders , investigates how disruption of wheat susceptibility genes (S-genes) affects root exudation, the wheat rhizosphere microbiome, and sustainable deployment strategies for disease resistance. The research combines field and greenhouse experiments , metagenomics ,...
