The RSPB, in conjunction with BTO and Natural England, are running national surveys of the three key lowland heathland species in 2025 – Nightjar, Woodlark and Dartford Warbler.

The surveys will follow the standard national survey methods for each species, with the following survey periods for each species: Woodlark - mid February to late May (2 visits to each square); Dartford Warbler - early April to late June (2 visits); Nightjar - June and July (2 visits). Additionally, surveyors will be asked to record numbers (or absence) of the other species listed in the JNCC heathland bird assemblage. The fieldwork will include a combination of early mornings, and survey work around dawn and dusk.

Based in Liverpool

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is a globally recognised centre of excellence, specialising in research that impacts global health. Recently named Business of the Year by Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, and celebrating our 125^th anniversary this year, there has never been a more exciting time to join our organisation.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Assistant or Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join the group of Dr Thomas Edwards within the Tropical Disease Biology Department, on an Academy of Medical Sciences funded project investigating the mechanisms behind an emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotype in Escherichia coli.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative research team (also including Fabrice Graf, LSTM, Dept Clinical Sciences; Eva Heinz, University of Strathclyde; Liverpool Clinical Laboratories, NHS) investigating the key factors that influence transposon mediated beta-lactamase gene amplification, which has been identified as a key driver of resistance to beta-lactamase inhibitor combination therapies. The successful candidate will use a mixture of microbiological assays, cloning, qPCR, and whole genome sequencing in order to determine to what extent the organism sequence type, transposon type, or AMR gene impact the likelihood and extent of gene amplification whilst under selective pressure. This position includes a conference/training budget for the post holder.

Key responsibilities include:


Generate full length transposons carrying AMR genes from clinical isolates of E. coli, using a Gibson Assembly approach
Cloning transposons into competent lab strains of E. coli and clinical isolates
Conducting broth microdilution MIC assays, and fitness assays
Using qPCR to determine relative gene copy numbers
Nanopore sequencing of selected isolates




General responsibilities


Liaising, working collaboratively with, and providing support to other members of the team and collaborators
Leading on the data analysis, design, execution, and write-up of research projects for publication
Developing appropriate Risk Assessments, SOPs and protocols to local and legal requirements
Recording all experimental data generated promptly and accurately, in accordance with relevant standard operating procedures, policies, guidelines protocols and best practice


The ideal candidate will possess the following:


MSc in a relevant subject


PhD in a relevant subject (PDRA role)
Knowledge of health and safety regulations and legal requirements for safe laboratory working
Experience of microbiological techniques
Experience in DNA cloning
relevant experience of qPCR, sequencing library preparation, DNA extraction
Knowledge of bacterial AMR mechanisms
Experience on leading manuscript drafting for publication (PDRA)
