comment: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Department of Biology on a collaborative project between the Fitz-James and McLean labs investigating the molecular mechanisms of insect polyphenism. Polyphenism is an extreme case of plasticity in which individuals can adopt highly distinct phenotypic identities depending on environmental conditions. One such case occurs in the pea aphid _Acyrthosiphon pisum_ , in which females can develop into winged or non-winged morphs, triggered by crowding. Aphid females reproduce parthenogenetically, highlighting the fact that these phenotypic differences are due to epigenetic factors and representing a useful system to study these differences in the absence of genetic variation. This project will investigate the epigenetic signals that underpin aphid wing polyphenism at the molecular level, using techniques such as ATAC-seq and Cut&Run, coupled with gene expression analysis by RNA-seq. You will be a highly motivated individual, with experience in molecular biology research in aphids. You will be responsible for managing and carrying out your own research project combining expertise between two groups within the department. You will hold, or be close to completion, of a relevant PhD and have experience analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. Excellent communication skills and the ability to present your work and contribute to publications is essential. The post is advertised for an initial period of 1 year with a possibility of extension for an additional year. However, the post-holder will be expected to apply for independently-funded fellowships or contribute to the securing of additional funding required to carry on the project beyond this time. Informal enquiries can be directed to Dr Fitz-James at maximilian.fitz- james@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…

comment: The arms race at the plant-pathogen interface is a fascinating field of biology that can deliver important new, strategies for crop protection. Within this ERC-funded project, we used chemical proteomics to discover secreted plant proteins of Nicotiana benthamiana that are manipulated by Pseudomonas syringae during infection (e.g. Sueldo et al., New Phytol. 2024) and used artificial intelligence (e.g. Homma et al., Nat. Comm 2023) to predict pathogen proteins that might be responsible for this manipulation. This project aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning extracellular manipulation of the host during infection. You will use co-immunoprecipitation to verify predicted protein-protein interactions and establish enzymatic assays and activity-based labelling to demonstrate the effect of target manipulation. You will use reverse genetics to deplete the components from both plant and pathogen to demonstrate their importance in pathogen virulence and plant immunity. We seek an enthusiastic colleague who has extensive experience in molecular cloning, protein expression and purification and who is keen to collaborate in an interdisciplinary research team. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system. Your supporting statement should explain how to meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.

In particular, we are interested in immune mechanisms/correlates of protection, characterising the specific and non-specific antibody responses to TB vaccines, and novel antigen discovery. We currently have projects exploring humoral correlates of protection in human TB challenge models, the effect of climate change on environmental mycobacteria, genetic variation in circulating M. bovis strains, and the development of functional models for high-throughput vaccine screening that align with the principles of the 3Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement) for the use of animals in scientific procedures. The post-holder will take a leading role in laboratory research for a new Ineos Oxford Institute (IOI)-funded project establishing a pipeline for novel TB drug development and will provide guidance and support to less experienced members of the…
