A prestigious James Martin Fellowship funded by the<br />
Oxford Martin School is available in my pathogen genomics<br />
research group for a highly motivated evolutionary<br />
geneticist interested in developing cutting edge population<br />
genetics/phylogenetics methods for the analysis<br />
of high-throughput whole genome sequencing data<br />
to better understand the evolution and epidemiology of<br />
the major pathogens HIV and Hepatitis C Virus.<br />
The position, which is part of the Curing Chronic Viral<br />
Infections project, is fully funded for three years and<br />
is affiliated with the Institute for Emerging Infections,<br />
the Modernising Medical Microbiology consortium, the<br />
Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research and the<br />
Nuffield Department of Medicine. The ideal candidate<br />
will have a track record in statistical or computational<br />
genetics and experience of programming in a language<br />
such as C++ or Java.<br />
This project represents a collaboration with high profile<br />
investigators at the University of Oxford including Ellie<br />
Barnes, John Frater, Paul Klenerman, Angela McLean,<br />
Rodney Phillips and Oliver Pybus. My group also has<br />
strong links to those of Derrick Crook and Peter Donnelly.<br />
