The ARTIC network and the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Public Health Genomics are seeking a post-doctoral position to develop 'broadband' metagenomic sequencing capabilities for rapid detection and characterization of emerging and unknown pathogens. This role will advance cost-effective, rapidly-deployable metagenomic sequencing across diverse sample types and pathogen classes.
Key focus areas include dramatically reducing sequencing costs through optimized workflows and open-source reagents, simplifying complex clinical metagenomic protocols, improving sensitivity through novel amplification and extraction methods, and developing long-read metagenomics approaches for reference-quality genome assembly. This work will enhance preparedness for future outbreaks by enabling metagenomic surveillance that maintains both targeted sensitivity for known pathogens and untargeted capability for novel pathogen discovery.
