“…come and walk with us!” The Walrus did beseech. “A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach: We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each.”Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

Position available for a Graduate Student

We are currently seeking PhD and MSc students for a number of projects. For background into the research carried out in the lab see here.

About the Lab

Our lab is located in the Faculty of Medicine of the Technion, in Haifa, Israel

The broad area of research in the lab is evolutionary genomics. We focus on understanding how the two most fundamental evolutionary forces: mutation and natural selection drive forward medically and ecologically important evolutionary processes. Evolutionary processes studied in the lab include the the evolution of antibiotic resistance, cancer evolution, bacterial adaptation under fluctuating conditions and under prolonged resource exhaustion, the evolution of microbial genome composition, and pathogen diversification. Our research is multi-disciplinary, combining experimental biology, evolutionary theory, microbiology, computational biology and genomics.
