Postdoctoral Research Associate
Applications for this vacancy closed on 11 October 2024 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate 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 postdoctoral researcher to study the
evolutionary processes that drive the rise and fall of antibiotic resistance
using genomic methods. This will involve analyzing sequence data from
bacterial isolates collected during a clinical trial combined and from large
scale lab evolution experiments. The postholder will work as part of a large
team (computational and experimental postdocs, PhD students, research
assistant) with access to cutting-edge experimental and computational
facilities. The postholder will have the opportunity to regularly interact
with collaborating researchers in Oxford and across Europe.
**Grade 7.1 – 7.8: £36,024 - £44,263 per annum – including an Oxford
University Weighting of £1,500 per year (pro rata) to be applied with effect
from 1 August 2024 (due to be implemented in the September 2024 payroll and
backdated to 1 August 2024)**
This is also in addition to any inflationary pay rise which may be agreed
nationally through negotiations led by UCEA with the trade unions, which could
take effect from 1 August 2024 (backdated if necessary).
Further details of how these changes to pay will be applied will be shared
with the successful candidate in due course.
**About you**
This position provides an excellent opportunity for ambitious researchers who
are interested in applying genomic approaches to understand the evolutionary
drivers of antibiotic resistance as part of a diverse and friendly team. The
position is ideally suited for researchers with a background in evolutionary
biology and microbial genomics.
**How to apply**
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment
system, and should include the application letter, a CV, a list addressing the
job criteria, and names of two academic references.
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 position is a full-time fixed term post available for 3 years, with a
possible extension of up to 5 years. The post is available from 01 January
2025 onwards.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 11th October. Interviews
are likely to be scheduled for mid-November.

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