Work with us.
Opportunities for doctoral researchers, project students, visitors and collaborators in pathogen genomics and One Health.
A good fit
Curiosity about biology matters more than collecting methods.
Projects are built around a clear biological or public-health question. Genomics, epidemiology, metagenomics and machine learning are tools chosen because they help answer that question.
Researchers are expected to work reproducibly, communicate uncertainty honestly and treat international collaborators as intellectual partners.
Current themes
- Transmission across human, animal and environmental systems
- Bacterial evolution, recombination and host adaptation
- Open genomic surveillance and population annotation
- Genomics and AI for predicting source, resistance and disease
