About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership on Botrytis species complex associated with peony bud blight. This project focuses on pathogen diversity, population structure, genomics, phylogenetics, and disease management for an important ornamental crop.

The research aims to identify and characterise Botrytis isolates collected from diseased peonies across the UK, confirm pathogenicity, and use genomic and phylogenetic analyses to understand evolutionary relationships and pathogen movement. A second major theme is control efficacy: the project will test fungicide sensitivity and evaluate commercially available biocontrol options to support a resilient management strategy for peony bud blight.

This is a funded PhD project and is marked as students worldwide. The post is based in Coventry, United Kingdom. It is especially relevant to applicants interested in plant pathology, agricultural sciences, biological sciences, plant biology, genomics, and applied disease management.

Supervisors listed are Dr John Clarkson and Dr Lauren Chappell. The project is linked to industry partners including New Horizon Flowers, Next Generation Flowers, and M&S, indicating strong translational and applied research relevance.

Deadline shown on the page: 23 November 2026. Applicants should review the project page and follow the University of Warwick application route for full details.

Funding details

Funded PhD project (students worldwide). The post is described as a funded PhD project; no stipend amount, tuition details, or additional financial terms are provided in the text.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in plant pathology, genomics, phylogenetic analysis, population structure, pathogen isolation and characterisation, fungicide sensitivity testing, and biocontrol evaluation. The post is a funded PhD project and is open to students worldwide; no specific degree classification, language test, or other entry criteria are stated in the post.
