Postdoc: Post-Mortem Microbial Nutrient Recycling

Durham University; Houghall; Presencial; GBP 32.000 - 42.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Durham University in the United Kingdom seeks a postdoctoral researcher to study how cellular death processes feed nutrient recycling in bacterial communities. You will join the Cann lab in the Department of Biosciences and collaborate with a consortium across Durham, Edinburgh, Oxford and Cambridge to test how post-mortem biology shapes ecosystems.

The project combines transcriptomics, metabolomics, and genetics using large Escherichia coli mutant collections to identify gene products active

Responsabilidades

• Identify gene products that function after death and determine how they contribute to nutrient acquisition by living bacteria.
• Combine transcriptomics, metabolomics, genetics and large-scale E. coli mutant collections to map post-mortem activity.
• Work within Professor Martin Cann's lab in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University as part of a cross-institution consortium.
