Applications are invited for a plant science and nanomaterials technician in the School of Biological Sciences. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to multidisciplinary research with opportunities to interact with industry.

As plant science and nanomaterials technician, you will be responsible for growth and the running of physiological experiments on a diverse range of commercially relevant plants. We are looking skills in four technical areas: horticulture, fluorescence microscopy, plant physiology and the safe handling of nanomaterials.
