牛津大学博士后职位招聘–生物学方向
The King Lab is offering a Post-doctoral Researcher position in the Department of Biology for 12 months. This position will involve developing theoretical analysis of evolutionary interactions between Caenorhabditis elegans, its microbiome, and a selection of pathogens. We are seeking an individual with an interest in disease and symbiont evolution who has experience with mathematical modelling of eco-evolutionary dynamics. This post is part of a dynamic and interdisciplinary research group – the lab of Prof. Kayla King – who works on the ecology and evolution of host-microbe interactions across the mutualist-parasite continuum.
This post is ideally suited for applicants with a PhD/DPhil with a strong theoretical component. Previous experience in ecology and evolution is essential. Applicants should have experience of modelling species interactions, especially between hosts, pathogens, and symbionts. Expertise in multi-scale modelling is an asset.
The post-holders will report to the PI and be a member of The King Lab. The post holder will work collaboratively on the different genomics projects in the King Lab. The post holders will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students.
