Four appointments for post-doctoral Research Associates and two scholarships for PhD students are available on a project funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and a number of Industry partners (Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Power, Minerals and Energy Research Institute of Western Australia, Alcoa World Alumina, Worsley Alumina, BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe Nickel, Aztech and Tiwest). The ARC project will be executed at the University of Western Australia and Murdoch University.
The Research Associate positions are in the areas of plant ecophysiology (position 2413), plant genetics and breeding (position 2414), plant molecular biology (position 2415) and plant pathology / molecular biology (position 2415). Details are available at https://www.his.admin.uwa.edu.au/jobvacs/external/academic/ads.htm. The two PhD scholarships (one at each of the collaborating universities) are in these same areas and details can be obtained from the same people listed in the advertisements.
The successful applicants will work in a multidisciplinary team on various aspects of phosphate nutrition and the susceptibility to the phytopathogen /Phytophthora cinnamomi/, both in Australian plants and in /Arabidopsis thaliana/ (as a model plant).
Best regards,
Muthu
