*Walking and working in agricultural environments: Risks for transmission
of antimicrobial resistance*
A three-year studentship is now available at the University of Bristol
through joint funding from ESRC & BBSRC. *Applicants with a background in
anthropology are strongly encouraged to apply.*
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a
critical medical and public health issue worldwide, with profound
implications for human health, farming and global food security, animal
welfare and veterinary medicine. This interdisciplinary project will
investigate relationships between countryside walking and possible risks
from environmental transmission of AMR, by documenting practices and
perceptions relating to walking in agricultural environments among walkers
and farmers, while estimating the number of AMR bacteria occurring in these
environments. The studentship will be supervised by a social medical
anthropologist with co-supervision from a microbiologist and a veterinary
scientist.
