PhD student – Molecular microbiology of bacterial biofilms at the Biozentrum, University of Basel (Switzerland). The research group of Prof. Knut Drescher is seeking a PhD student to study the molecular microbiology of bacterial biofilms . The project focuses on how biofilm communities develop emergent behaviors that do not occur in isolated bacterial cells, with relevance to both basic biology and human infections. Research topics include bacterial biofilms , transcriptomics , genetics , confoc...

The University of Zurich is offering a PhD position in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Research Zurich group within the Division of Infectious Diseases and Hospital Epidemiology at the University Children's Hospital Zurich. The project focuses on Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) in children, a challenging manifestation of Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi . The doctoral researcher will work within the prospective BRILLIANT study, which investigates Lyme disease in children aged 0–17 years....

This PhD project investigates how the resident virome of insects shapes immune responses and fitness, and how this in turn influences interactions with incoming virus infections. You will work on fundamental questions in insect virology using lepidopteran species as the study system. The project focuses on defining virome composition, testing how resident viral communities affect insect life-history traits and responses to infection, and examining vertical transmission of the virome across gener...
