Dear all,
I have a 3-year NERC-funded postdoc position available in my group at the University of Exeter, UK (starting in spring 2024) to investigate how genetic variation in disease susceptibility is maintained in natural populations. Using a wild rodent as a model, the project investigates the importance of pathogen-specificity and immunopathology in mediating costs of resistance, and tests if the fitness consequences of balanced genetic polymorphisms are context-dependent. The project combines monitoring and sampling of wild rodent populations, with experiments in outdoor enclosures and in captivity, and it integrates a range of -omics, ecophysiological, quantitative genetic and statistical approaches and tools. Extended visits to Scandinavian field sites are planned for data collection and engagement with international collaborators.
It would be fantastic if you could forward the attached ad to potentially interested researchers at your department.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Barbara
