Join us

We are always interested in hearing from motivated researchers who want to understand how plants and pathogens interact. We study plant immunity, NLR immune receptors, autophagy and membrane trafficking at the infection interface, using cell biology, biochemistry, genetics and AI-guided structure prediction.

PhD students

Places are usually tied to funding. We advertise them on this page and through Imperial College London. If you have your own scholarship, we are glad to hear from you.

Postdoctoral researchers

We welcome early contact from candidates planning a fellowship application, for example a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, ideally several months before the deadline.

MRes students and visitors

We host MRes students (through the MRes Molecular Plant and Microbial Sciences) and visiting researchers, including visitors from Academia Sinica and PMAS-Arid Agriculture University.
