About this position

The University of Würzburg and the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) are offering a postdoctoral position in the group of Professor Jörg Vogel. The research focuses on jumbo phage molecular biology and the advancement of programmable ASO technology to dissect phage infection cycles in genetically intractable systems. The project aims to define RNA export mechanisms, subcellular organisation of mRNA export, phage protein import, and strategies to overcome host immune defense. There is also a strong emphasis on advancing jumbo phages towards phage therapy applications, making this position highly relevant for those interested in molecular biology, microbiology, and medical science.

The project is part of the DFG priority programme 'New Concepts in Prokaryotic Virus-Host Interactions – from Single Cells to Microbial Communities' (SPP 2330). Applicants should have a doctoral/PhD degree in molecular biology, microbiology, or biotechnology. The position is available for two years, with the possibility of extension, and can be filled full- or part-time. Salary is according to the German public sector pay scale (TV-L) and complies with qualification. The university encourages applications from qualified women and handicapped persons in case of equal aptitude.

To apply, candidates should submit a short letter of motivation, CV, publication list, copies of relevant documents and certificates, and contact information for two academic references, all in a single PDF file with the reference 'Phage' to Monika Schraut ([email protected]) by January 11th, 2026. For more information about the Vogel lab, visit the Helmholtz HIRI website.

Key research areas include jumbo phages, phage therapy, RNA export, ASO technology, and prokaryotic virus-host interactions. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers interested in cutting-edge molecular biology and medical science research at a leading German institution.
