Investigate molecular determinants of viral emergence and cross-species transmission in Suzannah Rihn’s laboratory at the Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease. Study viral and host influences on infection, replication and adaptation using cell culture, molecular cloning and functional infection assays. Responsibilities…
Investigate how nudibranch molluscs acquire and retain stinging structures from their prey. The postdoctoral project combines genomics, physiological experiments and fieldwork to study this evolutionary adaptation.
The Department of Genetics seeks an Assistant or Associate Professor researching pathogen genetics or host-pathogen interactions. Eligible scientific approaches span molecular and cellular mechanisms of infection, immunity and resistance, within-host and population dynamics, evolution and population genetics, using experimental, computational or theoretical…

Develop a research programme in urban ecology, behaviour and evolution addressing biological challenges where ecology and society meet. Areas include biodiversity conservation, nature-based climate solutions, environmental genomics and multi-omics, conservation in modified landscapes and green infrastructure. Responsibilities include independent and…

Reconstruct and analyse ancient pathogen genomes from metagenomic datasets spanning Neolithic to post-medieval contexts in Eurasia and the Americas. Research combines reference-based and de novo reconstruction with comparative analysis of modern bacterial genomes to investigate pathogen evolution and historical disease. The full-time appointment initially…

The University of Chicago’s origins-of-life fellowship supports early-career scientists studying prebiotic chemistry, the development and evolution of protocells, and potentially habitable environments on Earth and elsewhere. Fellows collaborate with existing research groups, with particular interest in projects spanning disciplinary boundaries.…

Provide specialist technical support for discovering and characterising biological systems. Relevant methods include evolutionary analysis, sequencing, AI and experiments on microorganisms that are difficult to culture.
Investigate human evolution and past environments through archaeological, anatomical and geological data. The postdoctoral role combines research design, quantitative analysis, publication and laboratory support within the Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology. Applicants need a relevant doctorate and archaeological-analysis and fieldwork…
Investigate living systems using theoretical physics and experimental biology. Topics include cellular development, evolution, chromatin and collective behaviour away from equilibrium.
Model early microbial evolution and its interaction with Earth's geodynamic development. The postdoctoral project contributes to the NCCR Genesis investigation of how life emerges and shapes planetary environments.
The Stephanie E. Pierce laboratory invites original projects on vertebrate evolutionary history, spanning extinct or living groups and any geological period. Research may address phylogenetics and macroevolution, phenomics, functional biomechanics, development, tissue materials, paleoecology or geochemistry, using experimental or computational approaches.…
Develop computational biology research that advances the scientific usefulness of AI systems. Work may span large-scale sequence analysis, structural biology, phylogenomics and screening datasets, with analysis pipelines that inform experimental hypotheses and AI-agent evaluation. The advertised annual salary is USD 300,000–320,000. Anthropic’s hybrid…
Alison Feder's laboratory at the University of Washington seeks a postdoctoral scientist to investigate rapid evolutionary dynamics in viruses, bacteria, and cancer using genomics, computation, and mathematical modeling.
