The University of Innsbruck in Austria is seeking a motivated PhD student to join the Virology of Microorganisms group in the FWF-funded HALOCHAT project. The research focuses on microbiology, archaeal biology, haloarchaea, extracellular vesicles and microbial interactions. The project will investigate extracellular vesicles in haloarchaea and examine their role in communication and interactions between microorganisms living in extreme environments. Applicants should have a background in microbiology, molecular biology or a related field, together with enthusiasm for experimental research and microbial interactions. Previous experience with haloarchaea and/or extracellular vesicles would be advantageous. The anticipated start is January 2027, with a latest start around March or April 2027. Interested researchers should contact Professor Susanne Erdmann by LinkedIn private message, preferably by email.
