About the role

The Centre for Phage Research at the University of Leicester is seeking a talented and motivated researcher to join our team. The role offers a chance to be at the forefront of exploring bacteriophages (phages) not only as innovative alternatives to antimicrobials but also as tools for modulating microbiomes.

The successful candidate will play a vital role in isolating and characterizing new viruses with the potential to target and eliminate bacterial pathogens and other microorganisms of interest.  You will be taking part in an innovative project isolating archaeal viruses that are active against methanogen strains from bovine rumen fluid and assisting with their subsequent characterization.

About you

The successful applicant will have substantial laboratory-based experience in working with phages and experience of providing guidance and training to others in this field.
