The ideal candidate:

You will have a PhD in Molecular Microbiology, Plant Biology and/or Biochemistry. You will have in-depth knowledge of microbial virulence strategies, a general understanding of evolutionary plant-pathogen interactions, and demonstrable experience in molecular biology/microbiology.
