Become part of our community The research group of Prof. Knut Drescher at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel seeks to appoint a PhD student in physics of bacterial infections, with a focus on using advanced light microscopy and optics for spatial transcriptomics measurements, to start immediately or as per arrangement. The project The research group of Knut Drescher (https://drescherlab.org) focuses on understanding physical processes in the development of bacterial communities (called "biofilms"), particularly in the context of human infections. Our studies are based on highly controlled laboratory experiments or on clinical samples. Biofilms are antibiotic-tolerant bacterial communities that are the cause of many chronic and acute infections, but biofilms are also a model system for understanding basic aspects of multicellular organization in living systems. The PhD project will utilize custom microscopy and optical techniques to perform spatial transcriptomics measurements, to investigate bacterial biofilms during infections and during biofilm growth. The exact project is flexible and will be developed together with Knut Drescher, depending on the strengths and interests of the PhD student. To get an overview of recent projects, take a look at our publications: https://drescherlab.org/publications.html Your profile We are looking for highly motivated and talented PhD students to join our lab.
