A 2-year post-doctoral researcher position is available with the King Lab (thekinglab.com) in the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford.

This post is part of an inclusive, dynamic, and interdisciplinary research group working on the evolutionary ecology and genetics of host-microbe interactions. The project will use a natural bacterial parasite in Caenorhabditis nematode populations to examine the consequences of host contact for the population and evolutionary dynamics of infectious disease. The post-holder will be given the opportunity to contribute to the development and direction of this project.

The successful candidates should have prior experience in infectious disease ecology/evolution and microbiology, and hold a PhD/DPhil (or near to completion) in a relevant area. The start date is flexible.

Only applications made online before 12.00 midday (UK time) on 11 September 2020 will be considered. You will be required to upload your CV and supporting statement.
