2 phd-in-biophysics "University of Exeter" PhD positions

PhD studentship (funded): Function, biochemistry and development of wettable trapping surfaces in three lineages of carnivorous pitcher plants

; University of Exeter | Exeter, England | United Kingdom | about 6 hours ago

Water bounces off lotus leaves but spreads and fully wets the trap rim of carnivorous pitcher plants, turning it into a deadly water slide for insects. This fully funded 4-year PhD project

PhD studentship (funded) : Modification and developmental control of leaf surface wettability in floating aquatic plants

; University of Exeter | Exeter, England | United Kingdom | about 7 hours ago

the upper (water-repellent) and lower (fully wettable) leaf surfaces are crucial for self-righting. This fully funded 4-year PhD project takes a multidisciplinary approach to unravel the morphological
