This project is funded under the UKRI-Southeast Asia Collaboration on Infectious Diseases Funding Opportunity.

Our project aims to produce new thinking and transdisciplinary research outputs to facilitate new approaches to measuring and managing antimicrobial resistance problems linked to aquaculture in Thailand. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow, liaising closely with our project partners in Thailand
