Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Foster Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Gut Microbiome Imaging. The overall goal of the project is to understand how gut bacteria interact and compete within the mammalian microbiome, with a particular focus on imaging of the gut microbiome. In addition to research, the post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group. A key goal is the development of new imaging methods based around fluorescent in situ hybridisation and extensive previous experience in developing these methods is essential.
