Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Molecular Microbiology and Vaccine Development

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Molecular Microbiology and Vaccine Development Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, South Parks Road, Oxford We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join Professor Christoph Tang's research group based at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology. We aim to understand how human specific bacteria colonise niches in the body, evade elimination by the immune system, and cause disease. We study various organisms that are leading causes of disease, including Neisseria, Shigella, and pathogenic E. coli. The group is interested in defining the mechanisms of pathogenesis and the mechanisms of plasmid biology with the long-term aim of applying these findings to the development of vaccines and therapeutics. You will be responsible for conducting high-quality research under supervision of Professor Tang.
