The University of Sheffield is offering a fully funded four-year PhD studentship in host-pathogen interactions, microbiology and immune evasion. The project, titled “How does typhoidal Salmonella remain invisible to the human immune system?” , will investigate how antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella Typhi causes typhoid fever while evading host immune defences. The research focuses on a proposed mechanism involving secreted typhoid toxin. Preliminary data indicate that the toxin may act as a cell...

About this position

Postdoctoral researcher / Assistant Professor position at the Biological and Chemical Research Centre, University of Warsaw, within the SONATA BIS 15 project on Deciphering host–pathogen interactions in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in the context of immune evasion mechanisms.

The project investigates how virulence traits of S. aureus and the human immune response shape the course of bacteraemia. The selected researcher will work on the interplay between bacterial isolates, patient material, antibody function, and molecular and clinical data to help uncover immune evasion mechanisms, correlates of protection, and possible immunotherapy targets.

The role is research-intensive and includes planning and performing experiments on S. aureus–host interactions, characterising the contribution of toxins, protein A, and adhesins, and studying selected virulence phenotypes of isolates. The postdoc will also contribute to validation work with project partners and integrate immunological, phenotypic, genomic, and clinical datasets for publication, reporting, and presentation.

The position is embedded in a collaborative project environment that includes doctoral candidates and clinical partners. The advert indicates that the detailed division of tasks will be matched to the selected candidate’s competences, making this a project-based role with scope to contribute both experimentally and analytically.

What's required

A doctoral degree in biological sciences, medical sciences or a related field relevant to the research, obtained no later than before the start of employment. Experience in molecular microbiology, host–pathogen interaction research or immunology, with practical knowledge of immunological and functional assays. Ability to independently plan experiments, critically interpret results and apply statistical methods. A publication record relevant to the position and ability to prepare scientific manuscripts. English proficiency sufficient for scientific work and international collaboration, and ability to work effectively in a team. Desirable: experience with S. aureus, serum samples and PBMCs, flow cytometry, multiplex assays, monoclonal antibodies or phage display; knowledge of genomic data analysis or immune repertoire analysis, as well as R or Python, is an advantage.
