PhD position in bacteriophages and their contribution to the evolution of bacterial antimicrobial resistance
This PhD project aims at the deep characterization of a unique staphylococcal phage-host library (1) to assess and measure transduction and to select phage candidates with potential translational applications. The PhD candidate will first characterize at phenotypic and genotypic level a unique staphylococcal natural phage collection. Next, she/he will experimentally detect, constitute, and quantify customized transduction events of natural systems and generate a standardized workflow to measure this process by cutting-edge analytical approaches. Subsequently, the PhD candidate will contribute to the development of innovative methodological strategies to visualize transduction dynamics of selected natural systems.
Duration and funding: 3 years with a possible one-year extension. Funding according to SNF guidelines.
Qualifications
Laboratory experience in microbiology and molecular biology techniques
Prior experience with bacteriophage research is an asset
Familiarity with genomics and bioinformatics analysis is an asset
Analytical skills and experience with statistical and graphical software is an asset
Excellent 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
