Life and Mind Building, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS About the role Tuberculosis is a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality, and an impediment to economic and social development in many regions of the world. The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is increasingly resistant to the available treatments and, as such, a major contributor to the global antimicrobial resistance burden. Consequently, there is an unmet medical need for new, better tolerated and more potent drugs to help reverse the pandemic and to improve global health. The IOI was established in 2021 to provide innovative solutions to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that threatens our existing way of life. With ~90 staff, IOI is expanding its research portfolio and invites applications for a Professorial Research Fellow in tuberculosis drug discovery and development.
