Become part of our community

The research group of Yuping Li is looking to recruit a highly motivated PhD student.

**Your position**

Our research group is generally interested in the interaction and co-evolution between bacteria and a family of big bacterial viruses, called jumbophages. We are particularly interested in how bacteria use immune systems to antagonize phage infection and how phages evade such immune systems. In the proposed project, we will use genetics, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches to understand the mechanism of bacterial immune systems and to investigate phage factors that antagonize bacterial immune functions. We are looking for a motivated and curious student to join our growing team.

**Your profile**

MSc or equivalent degree with a strong component in any of the following areas: microbiology, biochemistry, structural biology, quantitative biology, or evolution biology. Experience in bacterio-/phage
- biology and biochemistry is preferred but not required. Selection will furthermore be based on the educational background, motivation, independence and creativity of the applicant. The position is funded and salary is according to institutional guidelines.

**We offer you**

The Yuping Li lab is a starting group, aiming to build an international team of dynamic and collaborative scientists. We committed to create an equal and inclusive work atmosphere and to solve fundamental questions surrounding evolution and interaction between bacteria and bacteriophages. The Biozentrum provides a highly stimulating collaborative research environment with a fantastic infrastructure in a brand-new building, as well as state-of-the-art technology platforms for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

Basel is an international city with people from 150 nations. Located on the border where three countries meet - Switzerland, Germany and France - it is Europe's most important life sciences hub. Basel provides a high standard of living and a rich cultural atmosphere.
