Job Purpose

To support the Plant Pathology Team in delivering high-quality plant disease resistance screening across different plant hosts and plant pathogens, through a range of laboratory and glasshouse activities carried out under established protocols.

The role involves supporting assays run under tropical growth conditions (including assisting with plant set‑up and care during trials); maintaining fungal cultures and preparing inoculum for assays; monitoring and recording relevant environmental conditions during experiments; and collecting, recording, and summarising experimental observations in a clear and traceable manner to ensure robust, reproducible outputs.
