PhD opportunity in wheat , soil microbiology , plant-microbe interactions , metabolomics , bioinformatics , and environmental microbiology at the John Innes Centre and the neighbouring Earlham Institute in Norwich, United Kingdom . This project investigates the plant “ cry-for-help ” effect in wheat: how roots respond to pathogen attack by changing metabolite secretion and recruiting beneficial soil microbes. The student will work with wheat split-root microcosms and microbial communities of var...

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.

Funding details

Available

What's required

The postdoctoral opening seeks a microbiologist with expertise in plant–microbe interactions, ideally including experience with synthetic microbial communities. The advertised technician role requests experience with plant–microbial systems and molecular, microbiological, and environmental analyses.

How to apply

Apply through the relevant University of Warwick vacancy link. The postdoctoral Research Fellow closing date is 25 November 2026; the Senior Research Technician closing date is 19 November 2026.
