Senior Research Associate (biological determinants of pandemic risk)(Fixed Term)

The successful candidate will work in collaboration with Professor Bryant's research group building their own research program to determine the mechansims by which a deliberately released pathogen might cause disease and how this could be prevented or reduced. Applicants who work across disciplines, for example integrating bioinformatics with mathematical modelling and/or AI/ML, are particularly encouraged as developing these kind of multi-disciplinary collaborations are critical for the success of this program. The appointee will either already be established as an independent researcher or will be encouraged to use this position as an avenue to develop as an independent researcher.

Applicants must have been awarded a PhD in a relevant specialist area, including but not limited to microbiology, immunology and/or molecular biology. Candidates with relevant experience working in pathogen-host biology and/or bioinformatics are highly desired
