A slightly delayed but nonetheless warm welcome to Armida and Caty who join the team to work on the RIPE project. Armida joins as a postdoc and Caty is joining as a biochemistry technician. They’ll both be contributing to our work on rubisco regulation in cowpea and soybean to contribute to delivering improved varieties to farmers, particularly those in sub-Saharan […]
Update: applications are now closed. A new role in the team is now advertised as part of work on photosynthesis, Rubisco and wheat with Elizabete. This Plant Physiologist postdoc role is part of the BBSRC Institute Strategic Programme Delivering Sustainable Wheat, this project aims to decipher the mechanistic regulation of Rubisco synthesis and degradation and how this process impacts photosynthetic […]
If you or someone you know are looking to do a MRes in plant science, and have an interest in photosynthesis, and the potential of agricvoltaics to contribute to cleaner energy production on farms, then this position could be just right. Sam & Elizabete have a MRes position advertised which aims to better understand the potential benefits of solar-tracking PV, […]
Fay has recently joined us to begin a PhD on the heat tolerance of photosynthesis in cowpea. She’ll be working with Elizabete and Sam. Welcome to Lancaster Fay!
Congrats and well done to PhD student Duncan who submitted his thesis on Rubisco Activase shortly before the Easter break!
Within the Lancaster Environment Centre a PhD project is available on carboxysome engineering, which is aiming to build upon our previous work towards assembling a cyanobacterial carboxysome in plant chloroplasts. This is the central part of attempts to build a cyanobacterial CCM within plants to boost photosynthetic efficiency. This project will involve in vitro and in planta analysis of existing transgenics […]
We are currently recruiting several team members including a Specialist Biochemistry Technician, which is a different type of role and can be a better fit for how some people want to contribute to the research. Rhiannon, one of our RIPE team members and Specialist Molecular Biology Technician shares some thoughts about why this role really suits her: ‘I have been […]
Updated 20/03/23: DTP applications for this year are now closed, but the LEC project below is open until March 31st. Details below We have 2 PhD positions open to application, based wholly or partly at Lancaster! These are both led by Doug, with different collaborators and program specifics. Some details are below but please carefully read the linked pages for […]
[Updated: Applications now closed] Applications are now open for two postdoctoral researchers in plant molecular physiology and one specialist biochemistry technician within the team. These new positions are to work on the recently funded phase 3 of the RIPE project. We aim to contribute to end hunger worldwide by improving the complex process of photosynthesis to increase crop production. […]
In the lead up to the break we bid farewell (e boa viagem) to several short- and long-term team members who are off to new adventures and/or leaving us after a visit. Louis bids farewell after several years in various roles and projects with the team to head back to his native Wales for a new adventure pursuing one of […]
