Job Description

Fully-funded PhD studentship available as part of the Cambridge Biosciences DTP PhD programme (targeted project: TRG-VET-AA26): https://lnkd.in/eK5DDCGX.

The goal of this project is to elucidate the host-adaptive traits of the human gut microbiome through a combination of large-scale (meta)genomics and experimental techniques. Although the project is expected to have a strong computational component, the student will also have the possibility of doing wet-lab in vitro/in vivo work in collaboration with Dr Virginia Pedicord‘s lab.

We are primarily looking for candidates with some microbiology and/or genomics experience. If you are interested in applying and meet the eligibility requirements of the University of Cambridge (https://lnkd.in/ehygmvXK), feel free to reach out with a CV and cover letter stating your interest in this project. Applications are open to both UK and international students.
