This will include designing and carrying out a wide variety of research projects and developing practical strategies and outcomes that will support and enhance the resilience of the kiwifruit and other locally-based sectors to imminent or future threats.
As a minimum you will have a postgraduate qualification (MSc or similar) in plant pathology, with experience in plant mycology and/or bacteriology and its application in applied plant pathology research.
