Postdoctoral Research Officer in Antimicrobial

4 months ago


Bangor, United Kingdom Bangor University Full time

Applications are invited for a 2-year full-time Postdoctoral Research Officer to work with Prof Davey Jones (Bangor University) and Prof Rachel McKendry (University College London) on the EPSRC-funded Digital Health Hub for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). The position will specifically look at ways to link clinical and environmental AMR data and to investigate effective ways to communicate this information to the wider stakeholder community. It will also seek to integrate this information with other core data streams (e.g., infoveillance, prescribing information) to form part of an integrated One Health AMR surveillance and active management system. The environmental AMR data is being collected as part of the national wastewater-based public health programme but also includes information on the diversity and abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and associated pathogens in rivers, marine waters, sediments, shellfish, wild birds and veterinary reservoirs. The position will also be involved in the design and validation of in-situ devices for on-site ARG testing within different environmental settings.

The Research Officer will work closely with colleagues in other institutions to maximise the delivery and outputs from the programme. The overall aim of the programme is to increase knowledge and skills sharing among diverse groups, from researchers and healthcare workers to those working in animal health and environmental agencies, to policymakers, charities, industry and the public. It seeks to transform surveillance of and action against antimicrobial resistance by harnessing digital technologies that played such a key role during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to bring together researchers working across computer science, data visualisation, biomedical engineering, behavioural science, environmental science, clinical and public health research to tackle the critical issue of AMR.

The Research Officer position will aid in formulating the research direction, the writing of high-quality research papers and also the supervision of Masters-level research projects and PhD students. It will also help develop and implement the use of data approaches for the quantification, visualisation and communication of ARG/AMR loads in a range of settings, bringing these data streams together to better understand the source, fate and risk of ARGs in society. It is expected that the position will contribute very strongly to the writing of journal papers both as first author and as part of the wider research team.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.

Committed To Equal Opportunities.

Overview

College

School

The School of Environmental and Natural Sciences conducts world-leading research and teaching across a diverse range of topics including microbiology, public health, zoology, biology, forestry, geography, agriculture and conservation.

With Bangor University being based in stunning North Wales the school is the obvious choice for students and researchers interested in the natural world and environment. Alongside having the forests and mountains of Snowdonia, and the cliffs and sandy beaches of Anglesey on our doorstep, the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences also boasts cutting-edge laboratories and analysis equipment, a botanic garden, research farm, animal care facilities, aquariums, growth rooms and greenhouses, and a natural history museum.

The Project

The EPSRC-funded Digital Health Hub for Antimicrobial Resistance will directly support the UK Government’s One Health agenda delivering policy-relevant information to a range of public organisations (e.g., UKHSA, Environment Agency, DEFRA, Public Health Wales).

The position will specifically look at ways to link clinical and environmental AMR data and to investigate effective ways to communicate this information to the wider stakeholder community. It will also seek to integrate this information with other core data streams (e.g., infoveillance, prescribing information) to form part of an integrated One Health AMR surveillance and active management system.
