Fully funded 1-year MRes + 3-year PhD starting October 2024 - Antimicrobial Resistance

Exciting opportunity to research antimicrobial resistance in the labs of Gerald Larrouy-Maumus (mass spectrometry) and Andy Edwards (bacteriology) at Imperial's South Kensington Campus, and the labs of Ed Tate and the Drug Discovery Hub at Imperial's White City Campus. 

This project would ideally suit a candidate with a background in medicinal chemistry or chemical biology, with a passion for applying technology innovations in mass spectrometry to the antimicrobial resistance crisis. For more information follow the link below:

Fully funded 1-year MRes + 3-year PhD starting October 2024 - Antimicrobial Resistance

This project will integrate emerging computational and experimental technologies from our labs to establish a high-throughput approach for discovering, validating, and selectively targeting chemically tractable residues in any pathogen, presenting a new paradigm for on-target antimicrobial drug discovery. 

You will benefit from a supervision team of Dr Matthew Child (Department of Life Sciences, Imperial), Professor Sophia Yaliraki (Department of Chemistry, Imperial), Professor Ed Tate (Department of Chemistry, Imperial) and Professor Mauricio Barahona (Department of Mathematics, Imperial).

PhD studentships 

Any students interested in pursuing postgraduate research in our group other than the studentships listed above should contact Professor Tate directly; all prospective applicants should have or expect to obtain a 1st class honours degree (or equivalent) in chemistry, biochemistry, or a closely related discipline; non-UK students must be able to obtain independent funding for their studies, e.g. via a government bursary. 

Postdoctoral opportunities

We welcome informal enquiries from potential postdoctoral fellows with outstanding research track records who are prepared to apply for independent research funding, for example from the European Union, HFSP, etc. Full assistance will be given in preparing a competitive research proposal; we have an exceptional track record in accelerating the careers of outstanding postdoctoral researchers, with six Marie Curie fellows in our lab in the past four years.
