Crop research

NIAB EMR has opened applications for PhDs on six of the most important challenges and opportunities facing the horticultural sector.

The six studentships are on fruit flies and fatal fungi; making genotyping cheaper and easier; novel ways of managing tree crop fungal diseases; realising increased photosynthetic efficiency to increase strawberry yields; and understanding soil resilience to improve tree health.

Part of the BBSRC-funded Collaborative Training Partnership for Fruit Crop Research, the PhDs can be applied for until 13 April via the Findaphd website.
