Postdoctoral Research Associate

**About the role**



The overall goal of the project is to develop new ecological theory, rooted in
probability theory, to help understand how gut bacteria interact, engage in
bacterial warfare and what drives the stability of microbiome communities, in
the presence and absence of pathogens.







**About you**



In addition to research, the post holder will provide guidance to less
experienced members of the research group. The post holder will develop new
ecological models, using probability theory and ecological network modelling,
to better deal with the context dependence and complexity of microbial
communities and bacterial warfare.
