Postdoctoral Research Associate
The Department of Biology at the University of Oxford is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an ERC-funded project. This role involves studying the interactions at the plant-pathogen interface, with the aim of developing new strategies for crop protection. Research Area
Molecular mechanisms underpinning extracellular manipulation of the host during infection. Location
Department of
Biology , South Parks Rd, Oxford, OX1 3RB, United Kingdom Minimum Qualifications
Extensive experience in molecular cloning, protein expression, and purification. Strong background in using co-immunoprecipitation, enzymatic assays, and activity-based labeling techniques. Proficiency in reverse genetics to study plant and pathogen components. Ability to collaborate within an interdisciplinary research team. Demonstrated enthusiasm and dedication to research. Job Description
Verify predicted protein-protein interactions using co-immunoprecipitation. Establish enzymatic assays and activity-based labeling to demonstrate the effects of target manipulation. Utilize reverse genetics to deplete components from both plant and pathogen, illustrating their importance in pathogen virulence and plant immunity. Collaborate with team members to explore new strategies for crop protection based on the results from these studies. Participate in interdisciplinary research and contribute to publications resulting from the project. How to Apply
Applicants should include the following documents: A list addressing the job criteria. Names and contact information of two academic references. Where Covid-19 has affected your work or research outputs, please provide an additional paragraph explaining this disruption in your supporting statement. Join us in this exciting project to advance our understanding of plant-pathogen interactions and contribute to global crop protection strategies.
