Postdoctoral Research Opportunity in Mosquito-Pathogen Interactions and Vector Biology Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral research opportunity at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the Vector Biology area, focused on mosquito vector biology, vector-pathogen interactions, mosquito gut microbiota, human and zoonotic pathogens, and pathogen transmission. The project aims to dissect how mosquitoes, their microbiome, and pathogens interact using systems-level approaches and functional assays.

The post is being shared by Jayme Souza Neto, who is moving with the team to LSTM this summer. Jayme’s research profile includes vector-pathogen interactions, vector-borne diseases, emerging arboviruses, and genomic surveillance. The role is positioned within a world-leading centre for research and training in global health, with a strong focus on understanding the biology, ecology, and evolution of disease vectors to inform disease control strategies.

This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a scholarship. The post does not provide salary or stipend details in the text provided, but it is clearly a paid research job. No deadline is stated in the post excerpt, though the linked vacancy page indicates a formal application process through the LSTM recruitment system.

Applicants should be prepared to work on mosquito-pathogen interactions, microbiome-related research, and experimental approaches relevant to vector biology and infectious disease transmission. Interested candidates should follow the application link, review the vacancy page, and submit their application through the LSTM portal.
