About this position
PhD opening at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, in the research group of Prof. Marek Basler.
The project focuses on the Type 6 secretion system (T6SS) in Gram-negative bacteria, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms that control its assembly, spatial localization, and firing timing. The work sits at the intersection of molecular microbiology, protein biochemistry, bacterial cell biology, protein-protein interactions, bacterial signaling, and potentially live-cell imaging and electron microscopy.
The position is described as fully funded and embedded in a highly interactive, multidisciplinary, international research environment. The Biozentrum offers structured PhD training, networking, scientific exchange, and access to specialized core facilities including Imaging, Biophysics, and Electron Microscopy.
Applicants should hold an MSc degree with a research thesis in molecular microbiology, protein biochemistry, protein-protein interactions, electron microscopy, bacterial signaling, or a related field. Prior hands-on experience with live-cell imaging is an advantage.
The position starts immediately or by mutual agreement. Applications are submitted exclusively via the online application form. Required materials include a brief statement of research experience and motivation, a CV, and contact details for at least two academic references. Review begins in September and continues until the position is filled.
Location: Basel, Switzerland.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
