About this position
A fully funded PhD opportunity is available at the University of Exeter in the UK, focused on plant pathology and climate change.
The thesis, “Tackling the threat of wheat disease in a changing climate, using epidemiological modelling and soil microbiome research on take-all,” will investigate wheat disease dynamics under changing environmental conditions. The project combines epidemiological modelling with soil microbiome research to understand take-all disease and its implications for wheat production.
The project is supervised by Professor Dan Bebber through the SWBio DTP, supported by the BBSRC, and conducted with Rothamsted Research. The opportunity is suitable for applicants interested in agricultural biology, plant pathology, crop disease epidemiology, climate change impacts, microbiomes, and quantitative modelling.
Applicants should consult the full eligibility criteria on the SWBio DTP project page. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled. The post describes the studentship as fully funded, but does not specify the stipend amount or detailed tuition arrangements.
