Luis Linares-Otoya

Postdoctoral opening in structural biology at Saarland University , Germany, in a new microbiology group led by Luis Linares-Otoya . The lab studies novel secretion systems and sensing mechanisms in human microbiome bacteria, with a particular focus on Bacteroidota . The research aims to understand how these systems work at the molecular level and how they may be leveraged for synthetic biology . The position is especially suitable for candidates with experience in cryo-EM or protein crystallography . The group is described as growing and multidisciplinary, bringing together microbiome research , synthetic biology , multiomics , and small-molecule biochemistry . Application is by email: send a CV and a 1-page statement of research interests to [email protected] . The post says to apply ideally by the first week of October . This is a strong fit for researchers interested in structural biology, microbiology, microbiome systems, and molecular mechanisms in bacteria.

We are looking for a PhD student to join a new microbiology group at Saarland University , Germany. The project focuses on how human microbiome bacteria communicate and interact, with a particular emphasis on Bacteroidota . The PhD research will investigate novel bacterial signaling and sensing mechanisms and their potential applications in synthetic biology . The group welcomes applicants with interests in bacterial genetics , molecular biology , and anaerobic gut bacteria . Experience with anaerobic bacteria is welcome but not essential. The lab environment is described as a growing, multidisciplinary team combining microbiome research , multiomics , structural biology , and small-molecule biochemistry . To apply, send a CV and a short statement of research interests (1 page) to [email protected] . The post says to apply ideally by the first week of October.
