I have a PAID 6 weeks undergraduate summer internship in my lab. You'll use #FRET #biosensors, #confocal #microscopes, and #RaspberryPi to try to discover how low humidity affects leaf development. @PPS_UoS @RMS_EarlyCareer
Project 5: rms.org.uk/community/network…
Looking for a PhD? 2 newly funded Doctoral Training Programmes (DTPs) with projects starting Oct2025!
BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience DTP (YBDTP) buff.ly/4i7G6PV and NERC ACCE+ DTP: buff.ly/4i8K4I1Lots of projects based within PPS– see thread details
#plantscience
Impacts of plant + pest identities on functionality of mycorrhizal networks
buff.ly/4fLhFWX
Investigate how plant neighbours influence mycorrhizal fungal networks + plant defences, providing insights into resilience/functioning of ecosystems. With Katie Field @KatieField4
The Rowe lab is also recruiting a #PlantScience
PhD student for 2025! You'll use the new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the dynamic leaf #AbscisicAcid
accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice.
