About this position
Applications are now open for a PhD opportunity in veterinary epidemiology and data science at the University of Bristol, supervised by Professor Kristen Reyher through the SWBio DTP.
The project, “Using One Health AMU and AMR data to inform stewardship” (Project ID: 3594), addresses a major One Health challenge: the relationship between antimicrobial usage (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The research focuses on ruminant livestock and aims to use epidemiological, statistical, and data science approaches to understand how antimicrobial use and resistance patterns can inform stewardship and improve animal health, welfare, productivity, and broader One Health outcomes.
The project includes a CASE partnership with Welsh Lamb and Beef Producers, giving the student an applied, industry-linked research environment. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for students interested in veterinary science, animal health, epidemiology, quantitative analysis, and data-driven approaches to tackling antimicrobial resistance in agriculture.
Applicants should be prepared to work on a project combining veterinary epidemiology, AMU/AMR research, and data science. The post does not list detailed entry requirements, but the topic suggests a strong fit for candidates with backgrounds or interests in veterinary science, biology, statistics, public health, agriculture, and computational/data analysis.
Deadline: Wednesday 2 December 2026.
How to apply: review the project information at the provided project link, then submit your application through the SWBio DTP application page. The poster also invites potential applicants to get in touch with questions.
