We are seeking a Research Assistant to work on an ERC Advanced project studying the evolutionary biology of antibiotic resistance led by Craig MacLean.

The postholder will contribute to this by phenotypic analysis of isolates collected from patients during a clinical trial and by running controlled resistance evolution experiments in the lab. These experiments will be carried out in conjunction with other members of the lab (postdocs, PhD students), and the postholder will play a key role in this team. This project will involve carrying out large-scale experiments, and the postholder will require excellent organization and lab management skills.
