About this position

Help shape the future of sustainable wheat production. We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious PhD student to investigate protein use efficiency (PUE) in bread-making wheat, an exciting research opportunity addressing one of the major challenges facing modern agriculture: how to reduce nitrogen fertiliser use without compromising crop yield or bread-making quality. Nitrogen fertiliser is a major contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and represents a significant cost to farmers. At the same time, the wheat milling and baking industry often uses grain protein content as a key
