Context: Table grapes are the most valuable fruit crop worldwide and have emerged as a model scientific crop for studying climate change effects on growth and sustainable production. Presently, growth in tropical and subtropical climates is incredibly challenging; understanding how to improve production is the key to unlocking a multi-million dollar industry in northern Australia.
In this project, you will use advanced physiology and biochemical approaches to understand the phenology of tropical-grown grapevine by manipulating growth with physical and chemical interventions. You will extend your knowledge in plant biology and work towards high-level publications in international journals. You will have opportunities to travel and interact with industry leaders in western and northern Australia as you contribute to a larger program of work studying this problem.
Selection criteria (in addition to standard admission requirements):
- Demonstrated knowledge of plant physiology, biochemistry or molecular biology.
- Competence in data handling and analysis
- Competence in analytical chemistry or biochemistry
- Fluent communication skills
- Excellent time management skills
Cheers, Mick
