PhD position in the Faso lab at the Institute of Cell Biology at the University of Bern

A position for a graduate student will become available from 02.01.2020 in the laboratory of Mechanisms of protein secretion in parasitic protists led by Dr. Carmen Faso at the Institute of Cell Biology, University of Bern.

Overview

The group, we study mechanisms of unconventional protein secretion in two intestinal parasitic protists called Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica. The aim is to employ a range of methods to determine the composition, phylogenetic history and structural identity of molecular machinery involved in the secretion of parasitic virulence factors. These molecules cause damage to the parasitized host and are often secreted unconventionally using mechanisms that are currently unknown.

Organizations: The project features collaborations with teams at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, the University of Bristol in Great Britain and the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Germany,

The project is funded by a PRIMA grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation.

The successful applicant will join a small (principal investigator and lab manager) and vibrant research team and will be part of the Graduate School of Cell Biology at the University of Bern.

Application Procedure

Applications are welcomed only electronically as single PDF files including a CV, transcript of BSc and MSc scores and a motivation letter for applying to this position.
