Research Assistant in Experimental Evolution

The Brockhurst Lab group within the Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics wishes to appoint a laboratory-based Research Associate to an exciting project exploring how defence systems and mobile genetic elements jointly control long-term dynamics of bacterial genome evolution. ECOEVOGENOME is a 5-year project awarded to Professor Michael Brockhurst...

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...

The project, which is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), explores the genomic architecture, molecular mechanisms and evolution of host control in symbiosis, using the Paramecium-Chlorella microbial symbiosis. Using a powerful combination of reverse genetics, multi-omics and laboratory experimental evolution we will...

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 Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics within the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health wish to appoint a Research Associate to an exciting project entitled “Exploring the Adaptive Landscape of Multigenerational Inter-Specific Hybrids to Improve Iso-Butanol Tolerance”. **During this position, the post-holder will undertake a range of...

Phage therapy, the use of viruses that only infect bacterial cells and kill them, is a promising potential solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis that is threatening modern medicine. Phage therapy has been used since before the clinical use of antibiotics, but with variable success in part due to limited knowledge of phage biology. Renewed interest...

The PDRA should have a PhD (or equivalent) in particle physics, programming experience (C++/python), and analysis experience from a particle physics experiment. Experience with experiment control systems, data acquisition systems and muon beam experiments would be desirable. The Particle Physics group at Manchester is one of the largest research groups in...

A Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) is sought to help deliver a high-quality research to contribute to a project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), entitled ‘Doing more with less: digital twinning of Ti forgings’. This project is a collaboration between the University of Manchester, the University of...
