Hayley Thompson

This PhD opportunity at the University of Greenwich focuses on the cultural surveillance of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales, using a One Health approach to track antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from farm to community. The research will explore the prevalence of resistance across poultry farms, fresh produce systems, and wastewater treatment plants, aiming to contribute to transdisciplinary science and make a real-world impact on global health and food system sustainability. The project is supervised by Hayley Thompson (Lecturer in Food Science) and Stacey Duvenage, both affiliated with the University of Greenwich and the Natural Resources Institute. Applicants should have a background in biology, microbiology, environmental science, public health, or related fields, and an interest in AMR, food systems, or One Health approaches. The post does not specify funding details, so candidates are encouraged to consult the official university advert for more information. The application deadline is October 15, 2025. To apply, visit the University of Greenwich website, prepare your CV and supporting documents, and submit your application online. For informal inquiries, you may contact the supervisors via LinkedIn. This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team shaping the future of AMR surveillance and intervention.

The University of Greenwich is recruiting both a PhD student and a postdoctoral researcher to join the IOSAR project, which investigates the movement of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria through poultry farms, soils, water, food, and surrounding communities in the UK and South Africa. The postdoctoral researcher will support integrated AMR surveillance across water, wastewater, animal waste, and food systems, integrating data from microbiology and climate sources, and contributing to innovative practices. The PhD studentship will focus on exploring the prevalence of resistant Enterobacterales across poultry farms, fresh produce systems, and wastewater treatment plants. Both roles offer the opportunity to work at the forefront of AMR research, contribute to transdisciplinary science, and make a real-world impact on global health and food system sustainability. The positions are supervised by Stacey Duvenage and Hayley Thompson at the University of Greenwich. Applicants should have relevant backgrounds in microbiology, environmental science, or related fields. The application deadline is 15 October 2025.
