Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Vollzeit

Urinary tract infections affect millions annually, with treatment dominated by broad-spectrum antibiotics. Empirical choices are often inadequate and contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Our project aims to rapidly identify uropathogens and initiate targeted therapies. We will study the links between bacterial species and strain-level metabolic capacity, patient phenotype, and urine volatile metabolome.

Role and Responsibilities

We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team. Your primary responsibility will be to investigate the metabolism of uropathogens. You will work closely with scientists and engineers from various groups to design and execute experiments, collect and analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions. Experience in at least two areas: bacterial molecular metabolism, host-pathogen interactions from a metabolic perspective, or advanced mass spectrometry of small molecules, is required.

  • Bacterial molecular metabolism research experience
  • Host-pathogen interactions from a metabolic perspective
  • Advanced mass spectrometry of small molecules
What We Offer

You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaborate with experts in microbiology, mass spectrometry, and metabolism. Our group offers regular meetings, training, and mentoring on scientific independence and responsible conduct research. You will have the possibility to lead your research project with autonomy and contribute to collaborative projects.
