About this position

Postdoctoral position in medical microbiology at Uppsala University

This postdoctoral project is based at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM), Uppsala University, an international research and teaching environment with broad strengths in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, tumour biology, comparative genetics, functional genomics, immunology, bacteriology, and virology. The research is described as basic science with clear relevance to health and disease in both animals and humans.

The position centers on bacterial chromosome biology and the evolution of bacterial genomes. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the genetic analysis of chromosome organization in bacteria, the creation and characterization of bacteria with hybrid chromosomes, and experimental evolution studies with genetic and phenotypic analysis of evolved strains. A further part of the work involves microbiological analysis of bacterial susceptibility and resistance to different classes of antibiotics.

The role combines hands-on experimental microbiology and genetics with analytical work. The project includes work on genome sequencing and bacterial genome data analysis, as well as the development of new testable hypotheses based on results generated in the project. The researcher will also contribute to supervision of students, support laboratory management, and may take part in teaching.

The position is linked to Professor Diarmaid Hughes at IMBIM, whose contact details are provided in the advert. The environment is strongly research-oriented and collaborative, with the project embedded in a department that covers core areas of microbial and molecular bioscience.

Funding details

What's required

Doctoral degree in medical microbiology, preferably awarded no more than three years before the application deadline unless special reasons apply. Very good knowledge of medical microbiology, bacterial genetics, microbiological studies of antibiotic resistance, experimental evolution including evolution of antibiotic resistance, and bacterial chromosome organization. Experience with clinical isolates is required. The project requires experience in advanced genetic manipulation, especially constructing strains by introducing mutations quickly and efficiently directly on the bacterial chromosome, as well as skill in genome sequencing using methods such as Illumina and Nanopore, analysis of bacterial genome sequencing data, and growth competition assays. Very good English skills in speaking and writing are required; practical Swedish is an advantage. Ability to work independently and collaboratively, with strong emphasis on cooperation, flexibility, and responsibility, is required.
