Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Antimicrobial Resistance

Applications for this vacancy closed on 25 October 2023 at 12:00PM
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant for an ERC Advanced project
studying the evolutionary biology of antibiotic resistance led by Craig
MacLean.





Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a fundamental threat to health and
prosperity. We are recruiting a lab-based postdoctoral researcher to study the
evolutionary processes that drive the rise and fall of antibiotic resistance
in human hosts. This will involve phenotypic and genomic analysis of
_Pseudomonas aeruginosa_ isolates collected during a clinical trial combined
with large scale evolution experiments under controlled lab conditions. The
postholder will carry out these experiments as part of a large team
(computational postdoc, PhD students, research assistant) with access to
cutting-edge experimental facilities. The postholder will have the opportunity
to regularly interact with collaborating researchers in Oxford and across
Europe.





This position provides an excellent opportunity for ambitious researchers who
are interested in applying ecological and evolutionary approaches to combat
antibiotic resistance as part of a diverse and friendly team. The position is
ideally suited for researchers with a background in evolutionary microbiology
/ experimental evolution.





The position is available for 3 years, with a possible extension to 5 years.





Please send enquiries with CV to craig.maclean@biology.ox.ac.uk





Where Covid-19 has resulted in substantial disruption to your work or research
outputs, please explain this by providing an additional paragraph in your
supporting statement.





The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.





This post is full time and available from 1 March 2024 onwards.





The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon (GMT +1) on Wednesday 25th
October, interviews are likely to be scheduled for early November.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment
