The role will primarily focus on: 1) developing ash populations tolerant to dieback through phenotypic and genetic assessments, 2) evaluating silvicultural systems such as natural regeneration and mixtures in the context of ash dieback, 3) preparing manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication, and 4) participating in project meetings, dissemination activities, and reporting. Candidates with experience in plant breeding, genetics, and genomic selection for disease tolerance would be advantageous.
The successful candidate will gain valuable experience by taking responsibility for organising the projects' daily operations, supporting the project co-ordinator and PI in compiling reports and scheduling project meetings.
