Intern on surveillance of Legionella spp. in building plumbing

Legionella pneumophilia is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen and causative agent of both Pontiac Fever and Legionnaire’s disease. Concerningly, Legionnaire’s disease incidence is rising, with a 35% increase in the number of cases in Switzerland between 2016-2018. Legionnaire’s disease is caused by inhalation of aerosolized Legionella spp., for example via showering and/or cooling towers for buildings with Legionella spp. colonizing the plumbing. Dealing with Legionella in building plumbing is a multi-disciplinary challenge ranging from basic to applied research and involving stakeholders from academia, industry and government.

**Within this context,** Eawag and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) are collaborating on a project seeking to identify environmental causes of clinical Legionella spp. infections. The work is in the context of a multisite collaboration with the Swiss Federal Government (BLV), the technical university of Lucerne (HSLU), and the cantonal laboratory of Zurich (KLZH), with further support from a global network of experts on Legionella spp., building plumbing, and health effects. The project is focused on quantifying and characterizing Legionella spp. in residential buildings amongst people in Switzerland diagnosed with legionellosis as compared to people who have not been diagnosed. Specific foci of the project include: 1) development and deployment of sample collection of piped water systems in residences throughout Switzerland, 2) development and use of culture-based methods for Legionella spp. quantification in plumbing systems, and 3) development and use of biochemical and molecular Legionella spp. characterization methods.

**Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis**. Desired start date is February or March 2023. Duration of the internship is between 4 and 6 months. Please include a short cover letter (0.5-1 page max.) explaining why you think you fit this position well, a CV, and the names and contact information of two references.

**Eawag is** a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.
