The successful applicant will work on animal diseases or at the human animal disease interface. Topics of research interest might include, but are not restricted to, parasite cell biology and development, mechanisms of virulence and molecular interactions with the host, antigenic variation and vaccines, drug resistance and treatment, modifications of host (animal or human) behaviour, and transitions among different host types. 

The post is full time and will become permanent on successful completion of a five-year review. For an informal discussion about the post, please contact the Search Lead, Prof Michael Bonsall (michael.bonsall@biology.ox.ac.uk), or the Human Resources Team (hr@biology.ox.ac.uk), as appropriate.
