Just under 2 weeks left to apply for this NERC-funded postdoc to study AMR transmission dynamics in migratory birds.

Really excited to have this work out as a preprint. Great experiment with great colleagues, special shout out to the fantastic job done by Brian Trevelline and Andrew Moeller www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thanks to a couple of recent Ws on the funding front, we have 3 open postdoc positions in Helsinki, Finland in the field of salmonid fish ecological and evolutionary genomics. DL 7.8. More details in advert: jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

We are now recruiting for a 3 year NERC-funded postdoc to study the transmission dynamics of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in migratory birds. Based in the Wild Microbiome Lab @uniexecec.bsky.social in beautiful Cornwall.

Looks like an awesome project Postdoc job klaxon 🚨
