A position exists for Research Associate to work in Dr Fusco's group at the Cavendish Laboratory (Physics Department).
The aim of the role is to investigate how the evolutionary trajectories of phage-bacteria ecosystems can be controlled by the physical constraints of the environment, e.g., spatial structure, and the biological constraints of the phage and the bacterium, e.g., resource allocation within the cell. We are particularly interested in understanding how phenotypic noise can be put under selective pressure. The role will involve developing novel theoretical methods to provide guidelines for evolutionary experiments.
The successful candidate will hold (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in physics, evolutionary biology, systems biology or similar with a proven track record in developing theoretical and computational methods to investigate biological systems. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in modeling the genetic basis of phenotypic variability.
The candidate will have the ability to work in a team and co-supervise PhD and Master students.
The post holder will be located at the Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, Maxwell Centre, JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0US
