About this position

Postdoctoral Research Opportunity at the Medical Research Council Centre for Medical Mycology (MRC CMM), University of Exeter, in collaboration with a five-centre consortium.

The project, “Flipping the switch on fungal pH signalling”, focuses on how chromatin regulation shapes transcriptional adaptation in Aspergillus fumigatus. The research investigates how environmental cues such as pH and host-associated stresses drive transcriptional reprogramming, and how these responses are coordinated at the chromatin level.

The successful applicant will work with Dr Sandra Catania and Prof Elaine Bignell, alongside a wider consortium including researchers from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Research Center Borstel, University of Dundee, and SRUC. The broader grant summary highlights fungal adaptation, pH/salinity responses, and infectivity in human fungal pathogens.

This is a postdoctoral opening, not a scholarship. The post is part of a funded research programme; however, the post does not state salary or stipend details in the announcement. The role is suitable for candidates with strong backgrounds in mycology, molecular biology, fungal genetics, chromatin biology, or related life-science disciplines.

Deadline: 9 July 2026.

How to apply: Use the application link provided in the post and check the additional information page for full role requirements and submission instructions.

Funding details

Postdoctoral research position within a funded five-centre consortium led by the Medical Research Council Centre for Medical Mycology at the University of Exeter. The post is a research job rather than a scholarship; salary/funding details are not stated in the post.

What's required

Applicants should be suitable for a postdoctoral research role and able to contribute to a multidisciplinary programme on chromatin regulation, transcriptional adaptation, and fungal pH signalling in Aspergillus fumigatus. The post is research-intensive and involves evolutionary, molecular, chemical, and structural biology approaches; relevant experience in mycology, fungal genetics, chromatin biology, or related molecular biology areas would be advantageous.
