Research Fellow in Molecular Seed Biology

University of Leeds

Job Description

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in molecular seed biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

Seeds underpin sustainable agriculture and food security, providing the majority of global food principally as cereals and legumes. High vigour seeds display rapid, uniform germination and seedling establishment that is tolerant of stress conditions. We hypothesise a central role for DNA repair and damage signalling processes in seed germination vigour which impacts on seedling establishment. Here we will use genetic, biochemical and high throughput analytical approaches to reveal the molecular link between genome integrity and seed vigour, establishing the mechanistic basis of how seed germination impacts on seedling vigour. The ultimate aim of this project is to apply the knowledge gained in this study to develop novel lines of plants with improved germination performance through modulating the activity of these DNA repair factors. We will test the potential of key factors to genetically improve the resilience of seed germination in Arabidopsis and Brassica oleracea, a crop species important to UK agriculture.
