Molecular mechanisms of RNA virus antigenic shift The Francis Crick Institute in United Kingdom

This 2026 Crick PhD project, supervised by David LV Bauer at The Francis Crick Institute, explores the mechanisms by which biological diversity is generated through the exchange and rearrangement of large genomic regions, rather than solely through the gradual accumulation of mutations. The project aims to investigate how these genomic processes contribute to the vast diversity observed in living organisms. The Francis Crick Institute provides a world-class research environment for cutting-edge studies in genomics and molecular biology.

The position is suitable for candidates interested in evolutionary biology, genetics, and genome architecture. Funding details, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are not specified in the provided description.
