The Biozentrum at the University of Basel is offering a fully funded PhD position in the research group of Prof. Knut Drescher, focused on antibiotic biosensor protein engineering. The project sits within the Swiss National Competence Center in Research (NCCR) AntiResist, a national effort to address the global antibiotic resistance crisis. The research aims to develop new allosteric biosensors for major classes of antibiotics. These biosensors will help measure local antibiotic concentrations a...

The 2026 ESPOD Fellowship Programme is open at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. This is a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship designed for researchers who want to build an independent project at the interface of computational biology and experimental science. The programme combines wet-lab and computational research, with joint supervision from scientists at both institutes. Research areas highlighted in the post include genomics, bioinformatics, com...
