and its biotrophic fungal parasite Peronospora with a goal of understanding
the molecular basis of gene-for-gene specificity.  Relevant research experience
in plant or fungal genetics, molecular biology, and pathology will be
advantageous.  And, an enthusiasm to work co-operatively towards the research
goals of the group will be essential.  The current funding is provided for a
four year term by the Agriculture Food and Research Council.

The appointment will be graded HSO (12,933-17,916 pounds per annum) or
