This post represents an opportunity to join an exciting multipartner consortium in the ‘END2AMR’ project to help develop novel antimicrobials using high throughput transposon mutagenesis to help understand mechanisms of action, host susceptibility and resistance. The candidate will join the Webber group within the Quadram Institute and have opportunities to develop their skillset within a vibrant and supportive environment.

The postholder will create and use a transposon mutant library in Salmonella and build tools for transposon mutagenesis in higher organisms as part of a collaborative project funded by EC grant (END2AMR).

The ideal candidate:

Candidates should have a PhD in microbiology/ genomics and experience working with bacterial pathogens and in tissue culture. Candidates should be comfortable with contemporary molecular genetics. Good communication skills and the ability to work independently and in teams are required.
