Postdoctoral Research Associate in Antimicrobial Resistance and Tolerance
Applications for this vacancy closed on 25 October 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Postdoctoral Research
Associate to join the lab of Dr Mathew Stracy, based in the Sir William Dunn
School of Pathology, University of Oxford. The project will investigate the
molecular and evolutionary biology underpinning antibiotic tolerance with the
goal of developing new methods to eradicate antibiotic tolerant bacteria.
The post-holder will be responsible for managing own academic research and
administrative activities. You will plan and execute experimental work
applying multiple techniques including antimicrobial susceptibility testing,
laboratory evolution, whole-genome sequencing and microscopy to investigate
the mechanisms and evolution of antibiotic tolerance in _Escherichia coli_.
You will assess hypotheses, troubleshoot or adjust experimental works when
needed, and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources.
The post-holder should hold, or be close to completion of, PhD/DPhil in a
relevant subject (microbiology, molecular biology, microbial genomics, or a
related field). You will have prior experience working with bacteria and
antibiotics and have an excellent understanding of antimicrobial
resistance/tolerance mechanisms. You will have proven skills in molecular
microbiology and genetics techniques and/or microbial genome sequencing and
bioinformatics demonstrated by first author publications in scientific
journals. The post-holder should be organised, highly motivated and able to
work independently as well as part of a team.
This is a fixed-term appointment available for 2 years in the first instance.
If you are interested in this role, and have the skills and experience we are
looking for, please apply online. You will be required to upload a CV and
supporting statement as part of your online application.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Mathew Stracy at
mathew.stracy@path.ox.ac.uk.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday on the 25 October 2024.
Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
