Research Fellow in Plant Architecture, Genetics and Genomics University of Warwick in United Kingdom

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, United Kingdom: Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat . This project sits at the intersection of genetics , genomics , plant cell biology , molecular genetics , bioinformatics , and quantitative genetics , with a strong applied focus on improving wheat breeding. The research asks whether meiotic crossover patterns in wheat can be deliberately altered to increase recombination in regions of the genome that are normally difficult to br...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, United Kingdom, within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The project asks how connections between plant cells and their neighbours control how a cell responds, focusing on plasmodesmata, cell-to-cell connectivity, and immune-associated gene expression. The research explores how plasmodesmal opening/closure affects the movement of molecules between cells and how this relates to plant responses to pathog...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in chromosome evolution, karyotype evolution, comparative genomics, phylogenomics, genetics, molecular biology, plant biology , and bioinformatics. This project, supervised by Dr A Twyford in the School of Biological Sciences , investigates chromosome number and genome-structure evolution across the Orobanchaceae , a diverse plant family containing both free-living and parasitic species. The research will use newly available chromosome-level genome ...

PhD opportunity: Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems at the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, with supervision from Dr Vanessa Wahl and Prof Henrik Jönsson. This project focuses on plant biology , developmental biology , plant cell biology , genomics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , and biotechnology . The research asks how the shoot apical meristem (SAM) changes during the floral transition, especially how carbon availability, hormones, meristem maintenance networks, and gene regulation are inte...
