Postdoc Position
Postdoctoral Researcher in Molecular Biology (vacancy ref. 9585)
___________________________________________ The text for the advert is as below: ___________________________________________ An innovative Molecular Mycologist/Molecular Biologist is required to join the Professor Gary Foster/Dr Andy Bailey research group looking at the interactions between the mycopathogen Verticillium fungicola and the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, on a 18 month post funded by DEFRA. The UK has a significant role not only in mushroom production but also in mushroom science. Verticillium is potentially the largest threat to mushroom production in the UK. The aim of this project is to identify pathogen genes involved in the Verticillium-Agaricus interaction and begin to investigate function. The work described in this proposal will benefit the science used in understanding mushroom biology and pathology that will eventually filter through to improvements in production and disease control= .. This project is part of an ongoing and higly successful collaboration with Horticulture Research International, with close links with Professor Peter Mills and Dr Mike Challen. You should have a PhD and expertise in the relevant techniques. You will need to have good organisational skills, be reliable and approachable, with good communication skills. You must be a willing team player but with an ability to be proactive and work independently. The following would be advantageous but are not essential: experience of cDNA library production and screening, and/or gene knock-out, experience of molecular biology, cell biology and/or development, gene expression and analysis, experience of fluorescence microscopy, and any other knowledge or experience relevant to the project.
