Postdoc – Role of signal transduction in E. coli bacteriophage infection and defence (Jenal Lab) University of Basel in Switzerland

The University of Basel is offering a fully funded PhD position in molecular microbiology within the Biozentrum’s Knut Drescher Research Group in Switzerland. The research focuses on bacterial biofilms and their roles in infection biology. The doctoral project will involve investigating bacterial communities using transcriptomics, bacterial genetics and confocal microscopy. This combination of approaches offers training in molecular microbiology, microbial genetics, imaging and infection-focused...

Funded PhD position in Molecular Microbiology at CNRS / Université Lyon 1 in Lyon, France . The SAB Team at MMSB is recruiting a PhD candidate to study how bacteria switch between growing and non-growing states, with a focus on pathogenesis, stress survival, and the CtrA pathway . The project uses Caulobacter crescentus as a model system and will involve characterization of candidate genes identified in Tn-seq screens. Research methods include CRISPRi , mutant construction, Western blots, protei...
