The post

The Faculty wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in the project ‘Solving the Pangenome Paradox’ which will use cutting-edge methods in population genetics and genomics to estimate the selective effects of accessory genes in bacterial pangenomes. This Leverhulme funded post involves collaboration with three project partners, Adam Eyre-Walker (Sussex), Ed Feil (Bath) and Sion Bayliss (Bristol). The successful applicant will make use of available whole genome data to quantify the presence and diversity of accessory genes in an existing set of bacterial whole genome sequences and co-develop population genetics models to estimate their selective effects.
