PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Transcriptomics in Switzerland

The University of Basel is offering a PhD position in the Plant Microbe Interactions research group within the Department of Environmental Sciences. The project examines how complex soil microbiomes influence plant growth and defence, with a focus on the genetic and immune mechanisms that allow some plant genotypes to benefit from particular microbiome communities. As part of the Swiss National Science Foundation project “Decoding plant growth in response to complex soil microbiomes” , the docto...

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...

Fully funded PhD position in molecular microbiology is available at the Drescher Lab, Biozentrum, University of Basel, Switzerland . The doctoral thesis will investigate emergent behaviours in bacterial biofilm communities , with a focus on molecular microbiology and bacterial community biology. The project may involve approaches such as transcriptomics, bacterial genetics, confocal microscopy, bioinformatics, and microfluidic systems.

A four-year PhD position is available in Cancer Immunology and Leukemia Stem Cell Biology at the University of Bern, Inselspital, in Bern, Switzerland. The successful candidate will join a translational cancer research team working in tumor immunology. The project investigates how leukemia stem cells interact with immune cells, especially natural killer (NK) cells and B cells, within the bone marrow microenvironment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Research methods include cancer immunology and ...

PhD student – Molecular microbiology of bacterial biofilms at the Biozentrum, University of Basel (Switzerland). The research group of Prof. Knut Drescher is seeking a PhD student to study the molecular microbiology of bacterial biofilms . The project focuses on how biofilm communities develop emergent behaviors that do not occur in isolated bacterial cells, with relevance to both basic biology and human infections. Research topics include bacterial biofilms , transcriptomics , genetics , confoc...
