Mobile genetic element landscape in planktonic and sedimental microbiomes of the Conwy catchment: PhD opportunity at Bangor University
Prof. Olga Golyshina (CEB, Bangor University), Prof. Andy Weightman (Cardiff University), and Dr. Aaron Comeault (MEEB, Bangor University) are recruiting for a competitive PhD opportunity funded by the NERC RED-ALERT CDT.
This project will combine wet-lab molecular, bioinformatic, and comparative genomic approaches to study mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in polluted and unpolluted sites along the Conwy River, developing biomarkers for genetic elements that govern the evolution of antimicrobial resistance.
The closing date is the 7th January 2025 and the full advertisement is here. Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the project and application process.
