Two postdoctoral scientist positions are available in a Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded project investigating brain-specific antifungal immunity . The project brings together fungal immunology, fungal biology, infectious diseases, and immunotherapy to understand how immune responses to fungal infection operate in the brain. One postdoctoral position is intended for immunologists with an interest in fungal infections, while the second is aimed at fungal biologists interested in immunology. The rol...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (School of Chemistry) in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on fungal growth and infection , G-quadruplexes (G4s) , fungal genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and antifungal resistance. The project, supervised by Dr Stefan Bidula , investigates how unusual DNA/RNA structures may act as molecular switches controlling metabolic changes during fungal spore germination in Aspergillus fumigatus . The work combines multidisciplinary tra...

The University of Birmingham is seeking a postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Fungal Immunology Group in the Institute of Immunology & Immunotherapy, College of Medical & Dental Sciences. The group is led by Professor Rebecca Drummond and is based within a collaborative research environment alongside immunologists and colleagues in the Institute of Microbiology & Infection. The project investigates how organ-specific environments shape fungal pathogen adaptation and how immune cells influen...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Philippa Matthews in the Hepatitis B elimination lab . This funded PhD project focuses on host-virus interactions and the outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The project spans wet-lab work, clinical cohorts, big data, epidemiology, genomics, immunology, and biomarker discovery, with a strong translational and global health angle. Research themes include: - Host and pathogen genetics in HBV infection - Whole genome sequencing and a...
