Are you interested in using data analysis, computer simulations and
population genetics theory to understand why bacteria may become virulent?
Then, have a look at our PhD project at the University of Leicester (UK),
where we want to look at this and other questions in bacterial evolution:
https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mibtp/phd/supervisors/FFreund/#Evolutionary_mechanisms.
The deadline for application is the 27th November 2025. Ideally, you
have already some experience with data analysis, bioinformatics and/or
population genetics.

The studentship is part of the BBSRC Midlands Integrative Biosciences
Training Partnership, whose 4-year studentships are open to UK and
international applicants and come with tuition and a project budget.
Please see https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mibtp/phd/ for more
information (and even more interesting projects at the University of
Leicester and other Midlands universities).

Happy to have a chat about the project, drop me an email at
ff95@leicester.ac.uk.

Best wishes,

Fabian
