PhD position in staphylococcal bacteriophages and their role in bacterial adaptation
This PhD project aims at measuring the contribution of staphylococcal temperate phages (and prophages) to bacterial adaptation to antibiotics. The PhD candidate will generate an unprecedented baseline of staphylococcal temperate phages from clinically relevant bacteria at the genomic and functional level with predicted value. She/he will then experimentally assess unexplored bacterial infection ranges as means to assess their relevance in bacteria modulation. The PhD candidate will evaluate their transduction ability by experimental and bioinformatic analyses. Finally, following cutting-edge methodological approaches, she/he will generate a battery of phage lytic variants that may be suitable for translational avenues.
Duration and funding: 3 years with a possible one-year extension. Funding according to SNF guidelines.
Qualifications
Prior experience in genome sequencing techniques and bioinformatic analyses
Laboratory experience in microbiology and molecular biology techniques
Prior experience with bacteriophage research is an asset
Prior experience with statistical and graphical software is an asset
Excellent analytical and organization skills, proactive and flexible
English proficiency is requested, German is an asset
Excellent writing and communication skills
Ability to work collaboratively as well as to rapidly build the capacity to work independently
Willingness to supervise and mentor undergraduate and master's students
