About this position

Two PhD opportunities are available in the Respiratory Microbiome Group at the University of Warwick, advertised through the MIBTP Doctoral Training programme.

Project 1: Mechanisms of azithromycin action in host-microbiome models of the respiratory tract. This project focuses on how azithromycin works in respiratory disease models, including its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory activity, and how it affects interactions between respiratory pathogens and the innate immune system. It is co-supervised by Dr Michelle Buckner and Dr Rahul Mahida.

Project 2: Phylosymbiosis of Streptococcus in the great ape oral microbiome. This interdisciplinary project examines how host co-evolution and/or transmission between animals shapes Streptococcus diversity. It involves collaboration with veterinary colleagues at the University of Nottingham and Twycross Zoo, which uniquely houses all four great ape species in Europe. It is co-supervised by Professor Melissa Grant at University of Birmingham.

These are PhD-level opportunities. The post does not list a deadline, stipend amount, or detailed eligibility criteria, but the positions are clearly research-focused and linked to doctoral training funding. Interested applicants should use the project links to read the full adverts and application instructions.

Research keywords: respiratory microbiome, azithromycin, host-microbiome models, respiratory pathogens, innate immunity, Streptococcus, phylosymbiosis, great ape microbiome, comparative microbiology, veterinary collaboration.

Funding details

The PhD opportunities are advertised through the MIBTP Doctoral Training programme, indicating funded doctoral training positions. No stipend amount, tuition details, or other financial terms are stated in the post.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in microbiology, host-microbiome interactions, respiratory pathogens, and interdisciplinary research. The second project also benefits from interest in veterinary collaboration, comparative microbiology, and evolutionary questions around Streptococcus in great apes.

How to apply

Open the linked PhD adverts for each project and follow the application instructions in the MIBTP Doctoral Training programme pages. Review the project details and submit through the relevant application portal. Contact the supervisors if you need clarification on the project fit.
