About this position

Two postdoctoral fellowship opportunities are available at the University of the Free State in the UFS Next-Generation Sequencing (UFS-NGS) Unit. The positions are in Pathogen Genomics and Genomic Surveillance, with a strong focus on Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Metagenomics, Virology, and Antimicrobial Resistance.

The successful candidates will contribute to the UFS Research Chair in Genomic Surveillance of Respiratory and Enteric Pathogens from Children in South Africa. The project is described as a flagship initiative that uses NGS and metagenomics to characterise viral pathogens, antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), vaccine efficacy, and transmission dynamics in children under five years.

In addition to the core research programme, postdoctoral fellows may be asked to support other activities in the UFS-NGS Unit, including collaborative projects, contract research, and service work. This suggests a broad research environment with opportunities to contribute to multiple genomics-related outputs.

This is a postdoctoral opportunity, not a PhD or master's call. The post does not mention a deadline, funding package, or formal application portal. Interested applicants should monitor the LinkedIn post and contact the announcer or institution for further instructions.

Research areas: pathogen genomics, genomic surveillance, NGS, metagenomics, virology, antimicrobial resistance, respiratory pathogens, enteric pathogens, child health.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
