The Centre for Crop and Environmental Sciences (CCES) at Harper Adams University are looking to recruit a Research Assistant for the Vegetable Genetic Improvement Network (VeGIN) Project. This is one of five multi-million-pound Defra-funded crop improvement schemes which aim to improve crop resistance to environmental and biological challenges, thereby increased food production sustainability and climate-proofing the future development of agriculture.

VeGIN at HAU focusses on identifying tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, waterlogging, salinity and extremes of temperature, with the ultimate goal of creating future-proof vegetable varieties and strengthening food security.

We are looking for a dedicated research assistant to optimise and utilising phenotyping methodologies to screen a range of vegetable crop populations for beneficial traits in glasshouse and controlled environment settings. This includes optimal root system architecture, nutrient use efficiency, bolting, drought and heat tolerance. The researcher will then extract RNA from selected plant samples to allow us to investigate the underlying genetic basis of these traits.

The post is available on a fixed-term full-time contract for a duration of up to five years. We would be looking for the role to commence in January 2025.

This role will be based on-site. There is very limited scope for remote working in this role.
