| Bacterial Pathogenomics and Protein Secretion | |||||||||||||
I am a medically qualified scientist (MD/PhD) working at the interface between bacterial genomics, bioinformatics and pathogenesis and with a research group benefitting from research council funding. Current interests focus on genome sequencing as a tool for studying the epidemiology and evolution of bacterial pathogens and on the structure, function and evolution of bacterial protein secretion systems. Applications are welcome in both areas. Applicants keen to pursue a genomics project should provide evidence of an aptitude in bioinformatics. Funding Notes UK and EU applicants will be considered for funding upon receipt of a completed application form and 2 references. Applicants from other countries will be considered, providing they have their own source of funding.
