A 4yr+ post-doc is available in Steve Paterson's group in the University

of Liverpool to use wild rodents as a model to study the genetic and

ecological drivers of immunological variation in natural populations, and

the consequences of this variation for susceptibility and tolerance to

infectious disease. Closing date is 29th July. Further details and

applications through the Liverpool site below:

Blurb:

You will play a key part in an exciting, multidisciplinary programme that

will investigate immunological variation among individuals. The project

will use wild rodents as a novel model where immunological measures,

leveraged from laboratory mice, can be placed within an ecological setting

to examine how immune responses are shaped by nutrition, previous pathogen

exposure and other ecological factors.  You will be responsible for

computational and genetic analyses of this dataset. A PhD in biology and

relevant experience is required.  The post is available until 31 December

2019.
