19 December 2025The Foster Lab at the University of Oxford have an open postdoc position:
Microbiology of Candida albicans in the gut microbiome: While the gut microbiome is intensively studied, the fungi have been neglected and are critical for the balance between health and disease. To meet this need, we will study how the major gut pathogen C. albicans colonises the mammalian gut and interacts with communities of human gut bacteria. The project is a collaboration with two fungal pathogen labs: Professor Alessia Buscaino at the Quadram Institute, UK and Professor Ana Traven at Monash University, Australia.
