Technical Specialist in Fungal Ecology

Cardiff University's School of Biosciences is seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Technician to join the fungal ecology research group in an exciting new research programme developing RNA interference (RNAi)-based approaches to protect ash trees from ash dieback disease. The project combines plant pathology, molecular biology, high-throughput screening, fungal ecology and environmental safety assessment. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, you will provide technical support for laboratory and glasshouse experiments investigating RNAi uptake in ash trees, pathogen infection processes, molecular assays and environmental safety testing.
