We are seeking to hire a postdoc to work on the experimental evolution of antibiotic resistance as a part of a large, ERC funded project. 

Specifically, the postholder will be in charge of carrying out a large-scale, highly replicated experiment to test the hypothesis that strains of Pseudomonas with high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics are able to rapidly adapt to clinically relevant doses of antibiotic. All of the data generated from these experiments will then be analysed using methods that account for the phylogeny of the strains of bacteria being used. If time allows, the postholder will also develop a database of evolvability in clinical pathogens to test the hypothesis that intrinsic resistance increases the likelihood of adapting to clinical doses of antibiotic. You must have experience in experimental evolution and comparative analysis as well as a PhD in a similar subject area.

The post will be based at the department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford and is fixed-term for 1 year.
