We are looking for a research technician to join an ERC/UKRI funded project exploring the convergent evolution of iridescent flowers across the Angiosperms. The technician will join a team tackling this question from molecular, morphological, and ecological angles. This particular position will be focused on conducting a mutant screen to identify lines of Hibiscus trionum which lack iridescent petals.
The successful candidate will mutagenize and grow plants, screen flowers, select lines for further analysis, and conduct crosses. The roleholder will also support the project team in general plant growth, tissue culture, plant transformation, and basic laboratory tasks.
