  • New methods for accurate, real-time, in situ measurement of bacterial growth
  • The structure and growth dynamics of intra-cellular colonies (in vivo biofilms)
  • Population dynamics of bacteria in complex fluids (such as mucus) and topologies (such as lung bronchioles)
  • Population dynamics of intracellular bacteria during antibiotic treatment
  • Bacterial growth on micro-patterned and dynamic surfaces

Starting date: 1 October 2020 or later

Requirements:

  • Applicants must hold PhD in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Engineering
  • Very good academic achievements as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and talks/poster presentations at international conferences.

  • Ability to develop and maintain effective working relationships.
  • Research experience in biological physics, microbiology, systems biology, bioengineering, soft matter, physical chemistry, or another related topic.
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: optical imaging (microscopy: imaging biological samples, image processing, building custom-made microscopes); DNA/RNA isolation, library preparation and sequencing; genetic engineering of bacteria; bioreactors (chemostats, turbidostats); microfluidics; bacterial and/or cell tissue cultures; in vitro models of bacterial infections.
  • Experience in cross-disciplinary and / or collaborative research projects.
  • Experience in combining theoretical / computational and experimental work.

Duration: Each position is initially for 2 years and may be extended up to 5 years.

Applications:

  • A complete application should include the following items:
  • motivation letter
  • professional curriculum vitae
