Jobs

The Forschungszentrum Jülich is looking for a PhD student to work on prokaryotic virus-host interaction in the group of Prof. Dr. Julia Frunzke. The focus will be on novel antiviral (antiphage) strategies of bacteria, including the role of secondary metabolites and their mode of action in phage defense.

The Institute of Translational Medicine for Health Care Systems (ITM) at MSB Medical School Berlin is looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the biophysics of phage infection in their work group ‘Infection Biology of Bacterial Viruses’.

The University of Stuttgart is looking for a candidate to fill the PhD position “Cryo-Atom Probe Tomography of Bio-Materials” to perform experiments with cryo-preparation, atom probe tomography, and aberration-corrected TEM. The aim is to quench-freeze genetically modified phages embedded in aqueous solution and make them accessible to measurement with the atom probe.

The Catalan Institute for Water Research, Spain is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the reclaimONEwater project, which focuses on two main topics: (i) the fate of antibiotic resistance genes in physico-chemical treatment; (ii) the use of naturally occurring phages as viral surrogates.

The University of Southampton and UKHSA are looking for a PhD student to work on a project investigating phage mitigation of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.

The Infection Biology of Bacterial Viruses group at MSB Medical School Berlin is looking to fill a PhD position in the area of bacteriophage infection of biofilms.

The University of Helsinki is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to work on developing computational tools for analyzing microbiome data.

The University of Melbourne and the Berlin University Alliance are offering a joint PhD opportunity to work on bacteriophage therapy for antibiotic resistance.

Prof. José R Penadés’ research group at Imperial College London is hiring a Research Associate to investigate whether lateral transduction, the most powerful mode of transduction described to date, is widespread in nature.

The University of Sydney is looking for a postdoctoral research associate to help with their bacteriophage research. The successful candidate will have experience in handling phages and bacteria, and be able to perform laboratory operations. They will also assist with the development of standardised experimental protocols for phage selection and diagnostics.

Postdoc position in the Aylward lab to study the evolution and ecology of large DNA viruses (mainly giant viruses). Exciting projects focusing on DNA viruses of protists – both bioinformatics and culture-based.

Felix Biotechnology is hiring a Laboratory Technician / Research Associate to support and work alongside their R&D team, which is composed of innovative, creative, and patient-focused researchers with expertise in microbiology, microbial genetics, microbial ecology, molecular biology, synthetic biology, biotechnology, and bioinformatics.

The Computational Microbial Ecology research group at the Research Programs Unit of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop a laboratory protocol for purifying high-molecular-weight viral DNA from human fecal samples.

Phico Therapeutics is a UK biotechnology company developing novel drugs for the treatment of bacterial infections, to address the serious issue of increased antibiotic resistance worldwide. Phico’s SASPject technology uses tailored delivery vehicles to deliver the gene for an antibacterial protein, SASP. They are recruiting a Downstream Technical Specialist to be responsible for the design and execution of downstream drug substance process development strategies aligned with the biologics pipeline.
