Queen's University Belfast is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the lab of Dr. Rachel Wheatley, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow & Group Leader. The position focuses on bacterial evolution, specifically the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive the rise and fall of antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities. This research is part of a UKRI FLF-funded project and will involve working within an interdisciplinary network of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) researchers at Queen’s.

The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research on antibiotic resistance evolution in the microbiome, with opportunities for career development and growth. The post is fully funded for three years, offering a collaborative environment and access to a vibrant research community. Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field such as biology, microbiology, or a related discipline, and experience in bacterial evolution, microbiome research, or antibiotic resistance is highly desirable.

Full application details are available under the 'Candidate information' tab at the provided link. The deadline for applications is January 26, 2025. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers interested in evolutionary biology, microbiome studies, and antimicrobial resistance to advance their careers at a leading UK institution.
