Postdoctoral position: Microbiota-mediated Resistance to Infection in Zebrafish

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated postdoctoral fellow with a strong interest in multi-species molecular microbiology to contribute to our ongoing research on colonization resistance in zebrafish. The project aims at characterizing key determinants of microbiota-based resistance to infection using bacterial genetics, fish immunology, genomics, quantitative analysis of bacterial dynamics and imaging. We expect this project to provide insights into the molecular events underlying pathogen exclusion in a controlled multispecies in vivo context.

[Note from Phage Directory: Not a phage-specific position, but we think phage people could bring a lot to this project!]
