About this position
PhD position in bacterial cell biology and microbial multicellularity at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institute of Biology, Molecular Microbiology.
The Erhardt Lab is recruiting a PhD candidate for a DFG-funded project within SPP 2389 “Emergent Functions of Bacterial Multicellularity”. The project asks how conjugation via F-pili shapes the organization and function of bacterial biofilms. The research combines bacterial genetics, biofilm assays, conjugation model systems, microfluidics, high-resolution 3D time-lapse imaging, and quantitative image analysis.
This is a PhD opening with an expected appointment of 65% part-time employment under E 13 TV-L HU. The position is third-party funded, limited to 3 years, and includes the opportunity for scientific qualification toward a doctorate.
Eligibility / interests: candidates interested in microbiology, bacterial cell biology, biofilms, conjugation, microbial multicellularity, microscopy, and quantitative image analysis are encouraged to apply.
Deadline: 3 June 2026.
How to apply: Submit your application as a single PDF by email to [email protected]. Please reference Job ID DR/93/26.
