About this position
The University of Warsaw Biological and Chemical Research Centre is recruiting an Assistant Professor (postdoctoral researcher) for the TransMed I project on personalized antibacterial therapy of chronic wounds. The role sits within a consortium project funded by the Medical Research Agency and led by the Mossakowski Medical Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, with the University of Warsaw contributing Task 2.
The appointed researcher will work on the preclinical evaluation of the antibiofilm activity of the AuresineR enzybiotic in the context of infected wounds. The project combines in vitro and ex vivo biofilm models, microbiota-related analyses, and the characterization of clinical isolates to identify determinants of treatment efficacy and possible markers of response to therapy.
Day-to-day research will involve developing and validating S. aureus and multispecies biofilm models that mimic the wound environment, testing AuresineR activity through viability, biomass, and biofilm-imaging readouts, and contributing to the assessment of selectivity toward pathogens and the wound microbiota. The postdoc will also phenotype clinical isolates and integrate those results with whole-genome sequencing data and clinical metadata to support the project’s translational aims.
The role is based at the University of Warsaw’s Biological and Chemical Research Centre in Warsaw and includes close collaboration with project partners and subcontractors. The position is research-focused, with responsibilities spanning experimental work, data analysis, documentation, publications, and reporting within the consortium’s milestones.
