About this position
Teesside University, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, is offering a PhD opportunity investigating a newly discovered virus affecting aquatic crustaceans such as shrimp.
The project, titled “Shrimp Get Flu Too: Understanding How Environmental Change Drives Aquatic Virus Evolution,” will examine how this crustacean virus causes disease and how its evolutionary trajectory is shaped by selective pressures.
The successful researcher will explore the mechanisms underlying the pathology associated with the virus and investigate how environmental change may influence aquatic virus evolution. The work sits at the intersection of virology, disease ecology, pathogen diagnosis, pathology and evolutionary biology.
The project is led by a collaborative team comprising Jamie Bojko of Teesside University Research, Amy Burgess and Josie South, with research spanning Teesside University and the University of Leeds. It offers an opportunity to contribute to understanding an emerging disease of aquatic animals and the evolutionary processes that shape viral pathogens.
