Research Associate in Evolutionary Biology

We seek a highly motivated and dedicated postdoctoral researcher experienced in evolutionary microbiology or mycology to study how anthropogenic environmental stressors interact with fungal genotypes to affect mutation rates and the evolution of antifungal resistance.The successful candidate will join a lab group focused on understanding the factors driving...

We are seeking a Research Associate in microbial evolution as part of an interdisciplinary consortium investigating the evolutionary biology of antimicrobial resistance. Rising antimicrobial resistance is a threat to global health that is caused by microbial evolution and as such requires evolution-informed solutions. This project, funded by the Wellcome...

This timely project will greatly advance the fundamental understanding of mutation rates in mixed communities. It is also medically important because understanding the mutation rate of the community may help in identifying mechanisms that promote or hamper emergence of AMR. **Main responsibilities** This is a 30-month full-time position aiming to start in...

The Epigenetics of Haematopoiesis Group within the Division of Cancer Sciences wish to appoint a laboratory-based Research Associate to an exciting project investigating the pathogenesis of chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML). This post is funded by a recent successful Cancer Research UK Advanced Clinician Scientist Award to Dr Dan Wiseman, to study the...

Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have and will continue to develop new biosynthetic routes and hosts for the production of chemicals, biopolymers and fuels. As such we can reduce our reliance on petrol-chemical based feedstocks by providing new sustainable production routes for drop in chemicals and develop new chemical entities with advanced...

We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate in microbial evolution as part of an interdisciplinary consortium developing synthetic phage technologies for use in phage therapy. Phage therapy is a promising alternative to antibiotics and is likely be an important part of the response to the global antimicrobial resistance crisis. Synthetic phages offer...

The research teams led by Dr Elena Bichenkova and Dr Costas Demonacos within the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester wish to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated laboratory-based Research Associate to work on exciting project exploring potent inactivation of dysfunctional microRNA sequences as a strategy against abnormal...

The group led by Prof. Angeliki Malliri ) is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join her internationally regarded team. We are looking to appoint a laboratory-based Research Associate until June 2028, beginning from January 2026, who wishes to develop skills in a friendly but ambitious group focusing on lung cancer. The successful appointee will...

Applicants are invited for the post of Postgraduate Research Associate in Multimodal Artificial Intelligence for Biology. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to establish that routinely collected histological images can serve as a cost-effective proxy for expensive spatial molecular profiling in brain tumour. The post-holder will contribute to the...
