Interfaculty Institute for Microbiology and Infection Medicine (IMIT) at University of Tuebingen is looking for a PhD student to study the phylogeny and evolution of antibiotic gene clusters in bacteria (E13 TV-L, 50%). The position is available in the research group “Applied Natural Product Genome Mining” at the Eberhard Karls.
About the research group:
- This research group is a young and highly motivated research team at the interface of bioinformatics and molecular biology with special interest in distribution and evolution of biosynthetic gene clusters of bacterial natural products.
- The group seeks to understand how chemical diversity in natural environments is created and use this knowledge to improve metabolic engineering efforts as well as bioinformatic predictions.
- The project is focusing on understanding the adaptation and evolution of antibiotic gene clusters in the bacterial cell.
Requirements:
- Applicant must be enthusiastic scientist with a Masters in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, or closely related disciplines.
- Applicant must have experience and interests in phylogenetic analyses.
- Candidates are expected to be highly interested in molecular evolution and natural product biosynthesis.
Duration: position is funded for up to 4 years.
Applications:
- Applications to be submitted as a single .pdf-file via email to: nadine.ziemert@uni-tuebingen.de with following documents:
- CV
- Motivation letter
- 2 references
- Grade transcripts
