Main Purpose of Job

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in molecular virology, entomology or plant pathology to join an interdisciplinary, 3-year BBSRC-funded project; “Unravelling the drivers of aphid-borne potato leafroll virus epidemics to develop sustainable crop protection approaches”. This post will be based in the department of Cell & Molecular Sciences located at the Invergowrie Campus and will require in-person attendance on site.

The postholder will investigate the drivers of epidemic potential of aphid-borne Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) by analysing infection dynamics of PLRV variants in potato plants, transmission of PLRV, mapping genetic virus genetic determinants affecting replication in plants and aphid vector transmission dynamics, and effects of virus infection of aphids with the aim of developing sustainable approaches to control epidemics of aphid-borne viruses. The postholder will be responsible for designing and conducting independent and collaborative research.

Main Duties of Postholder

Design and conduct independent and collaborative research.
Perform laboratory experimental work including RNA/DNA extraction and PCR/qPCR, cloning and sequencing of virus constructs, aphid virus transmission experiments.
