Postdoctoral Scientific Collaborator (80-100%)
This position is part of a project investigating how hospital-associated environments and patient compartments contribute to the evolution, persistence, and transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. By applying high-throughput sequencing and integrative data analysis in clinical and environmental settings across hospitals in Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire, the project aims to reconstruct AMR transmission pathways and identify microbial and environmental drivers of resistance hotspots at the patient-environment interface.
