Bern, Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit

The Institute for Infectious Diseases at the Universität Bern is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our Experimental Virology research group. Our team works on characterizing viral zoonoses and host–pathogen interactions in the respiratory epithelium of humans and animals pertinent to emerging viruses.

Within the One Health framework and funded by the Multidisciplinary Center for Infectious Diseases (MCID), our research group offers an exciting, interdisciplinary position for an Early Career Researcher interested in virus-host interactions. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a project investigating the evolution, transmission, and biological and clinical phenotypes of influenza A viruses in humans and pigs.

We are looking for a passionate researcher with a strong background in molecular virology and advanced cell culture techniques. Previous experience working at biosafety level 3 is advantageous. The position is initially for one year, supported by the Universität Bern 120% Care Grant and the MCID, and requires a PhD in virology or equivalent. We offer a young and enthusiastic research group, an inspiring research environment, individual mentoring, and state-of-the-art research facilities in the attractive working location of Bern, Switzerland.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Characterize influenza A virus lineages circulating in pigs and humans in biologically relevant in vitro models of the respiratory epithelium
  • Investigate the evolution, transmission, and biological and clinical phenotypes of influenza A viruses in humans and pigs
  • Collaborate with the Virus Genomics/Bioinformatics research group at the Institute of Virology and Immunology (IVI) and clinicians at the veterinary and human medicine faculties at the Universität Bern

Requirements:

  • PhD in virology or equivalent
  • Strong background in molecular virology and advanced cell culture techniques
  • Previous experience working at biosafety level 3 is advantageous
  • Fluent spoken and written English

How to Apply: Please send your application, including a motivation letter, CV, copies of diplomas and references, as a single file by email to hr-ifik.ifik@unibe.ch. For questions regarding the project, please contact PD Dr. Ronald Dijkman (ronald.dijkman@unibe.ch).
