PhD Studentship: Designing Synthetic Proteins for Sustainable Control of Fungal Plant Diseases The University of Birmingham is offering a full-time PhD studentship in the United Kingdom through the Midlands Integrated Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP). The project combines plant pathology, fungal biology, plant immunity, computational protein design, and AI-based protein engineering. Fungal pathogens manipulate plant hosts by secreting effector proteins that disable host defences. The pro...

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 pr...
