We are based at the School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine and the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, which are located on the Gilmorehill and Garscube Campuses of the University of Glasgow (about 20 minutes apart by bike), respectively. This creates cross-cutting research environment that allows group members to do everything from wet lab work, to bioinformatics, field ecology, epidemiology and machine learning.
OPEN POSITIONS:
None at the moment.
Prospective PhD students
Prospective PhD students should get in touch with me by sending a [1] CV, [2] the names and contact information for 2 people who can comment on your work and [3] a one-page statement that explains your background (1/2 page) and the research you would like to do (1/2 page). Fully funded studentships are available on a competitive basis through the CVR’s PhD Programme or external scholarships. Funded PhDs will be advertised on Twitter and FindAPhD.
Prospective Research Fellows
In the UK, fellowships are research-only positions that are available for highly competitive researchers across all career stages after a PhD (i.e., junior postdocs to full professors). They generally cover salary and research costs, providing research independence.
If you want to apply for a fellowship to work with us, get in touch and we can discuss ideas. Funding sources to consider include the Wellcome Trust, the Royal Society, BBSRC, MRC and NERC, among others.
