About this position
The University of Warwick’s School of Life Sciences is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the ERC Advanced Grant project Rhizosphere Rhythms: Unravelling Diurnal Microbiome Dynamics and Their Role in Plant–Soil Interactions.
The research investigates how daily, or circadian, rhythms in plants shape the microbial communities living around their roots. The project will examine how plant circadian rhythms influence the rhizosphere microbiome and what these dynamics reveal about plant–microbe interactions and plant–soil systems.
The successful researcher will work at the interface of plant biology, microbial ecology, rhizosphere microbiome research and soil science. The post is particularly suited to a microbiologist interested in plant–microbe interactions and, ideally, synthetic microbial communities. The role forms part of a collaborative research environment within the School of Life Sciences and contributes to an ambitious ERC-funded research programme.
A related Senior Research Technician opportunity is also advertised to support experimental work involving plant–microbial systems and molecular, microbiological and environmental analyses.
