PhD Position in Genome Engineering and Host-Pathogen Interactions University of Tübingen in Germany

PhD position at the Cluster of Excellence Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections (CMFI) , University of Tübingen, in the Link Lab. The project focuses on genome engineering , host-pathogen interactions , microbiology , and immunology . The successful candidate will use CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) libraries in E. coli and S. aureus to identify bacterial genes involved in immune evasion, then combine high-throughput immune assays , metabolomic profiling , and LC-MS/MS analysis to discover targ...

Graduate student opportunity at the University of Calgary (UCVM), in the De Buck Laboratory – Veterinary Microbiology , for an MSc or PhD project focused on innovative phage-based diagnostics for Johne’s disease . The project aims to develop a next-generation, phage-based, PCR-free diagnostic platform using mycobacteriophages and genetic engineering for rapid, sensitive, on-farm pen-side detection of Johne’s disease in cattle and small ruminants. This is a strong fit for students interested in m...

PhD position in Mycology and Immunology at University Hospital Erlangen , Germany, in the Department of Infection Biology . The project focuses on the crosstalk between Aspergillus fumigatus and eosinophilic granulocytes, with an emphasis on host-pathogen interactions and translational infection research. The work combines approaches from immunology, microbiology, and molecular infection biology. Relevant study areas include mycology, immunology, molecular infection biology, host-pathogen intera...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Phage Biology at the University of Tübingen , within the newly funded SWITCH project . The project focuses on phage biology through the lens of lipid remodeling , asking how phages rewrite their environment and how that environment shapes phage fate. The position is based at the Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine (IMIT) / CMFI Cluster of Excellence in Tübingen, Germany . Applicants should have a strong background in molecular cloning and Stap...
