University of Bern is advertising a European College of Veterinary Microbiology Residency or a combined Residency-PhD opportunity at the Institute for Veterinary Bacteriology in Bern, Switzerland.
This position is aimed at a flexible and motivated veterinarian with a strong interest in diagnostic microbiology. The residency combines work in the diagnostic laboratory with external placements (externships) and is designed to prepare the successful candidate for the European College of Veterinary Microbiology Board Examination.
