🌟 I’ve recently moved to The University of Manchester!
I'm advertising several PhD projects on plant–microbe interactions 🌱🦠🪲

🧪🖥️ Projects span experimental to computational. Diverse supervisory teams, collaborating across the UK Plant Microbiome community.

🌟New PhD opportunity: 🌱🦠Predicting functional plant–microbiome networks for soil remediation 🌾🧫

The University of Manchester FSE Bicentenary PhD
Competition funded (worldwide)

Deadline 31st Jan, see info at bit.ly/4qn74qH

📢 Our meta-analysis examining effects of experimental inoculation of plants with soil rhizobacteria on insect herbivores is now online.
📜Inoculated plants reduce insect fitness and alter host-choice behaviours, promising effects also on recruiting natural enemies.

On our way back from Sainte-Croix, France after a very successful field course for our third year Zoology students. Beautiful landscapes, plenty of inverts, snakes, and birds, and great food to fuel the science 😁 @liverpooluni.bsky.social

BBSRC NWD Funded PhD Opportunity (UK and International) on #plant #microbiomes, this project will examine and predict microbial networks of plants for stress resilience. @liverpooluni.bsky.social All info at bit.ly/3BAmYtm

At #BES2024 Andrew Beckerman starting the session on networks. Let's find solutions to global challenges instead of just documenting and modelling the doom!

Need a first post here to get started.. so let's introduce my group with a photo of us when we were very happy having completed yet another day of counting aphids in our field trial 😃 lots of survey data, microbiome data, and plant gene expression now being analysed!
