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.
