Bath is a very beautiful city. We also have a lovely campus and a great faculty!

I'm looking for a PhD student to dive into some protist genomes and maybe find some cool parasites like this (very flexible) apicomplexan.

URSA studentships are competitive so get your application in early!

Come join a supportive department at a great university in a beautiful city!

Interested in protist parasites? Want to learn some fun bioinformatics? Think this apicomplexan looks cool? Great! Come and do some protist genomics at @uniofbath.bsky.social!

Very excited to share that, come January, I will be joining the faculty at @uniofbath.bsky.social as a Lecturer/Assistant Professor! We’ll be studying all things microbiomes, harmful and beneficial host-microbe interactions, and protist diversity and evolution!
