About this position
Humboldt University of Berlin is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in bacterial cell biology for an Einstein Foundation Berlin-funded project on bacteria-phage interactions and anti-phage defense responses.
The project, BacDefiant, investigates how bacteria detect and respond to bacteriophage infection at the single-cell level. Research topics include bacterial immunity, phage-host interactions, bacterial genetics, live-cell microscopy, microfluidics, quantitative image analysis, and molecular/cell biology.
The lab uses high-resolution live-cell imaging, engineered bacterial strains, fluorescent reporters, quantitative assays, and custom analysis pipelines to study the timing, hierarchy, synergy, and redundancy of bacterial defense systems. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in microbiology, imaging, microfluidics, phage biology, and bacterial genetics.
The position is based at the Institute of Biology, Molecular Infection Microbiology at Humboldt University of Berlin. It is a full-time role funded until 30 September 2030, with a start date of 1 October 2026. The project is supported by the Einstein Foundation Berlin with €1.4M over four years.
Application deadline: 23 June 2026.
How to apply: Send a single PDF application to [email protected] and include the Job ID DR/089/26.
