**Presentation**:
The Navarro lab offers a PhD position (SNSF) in structural cell biology at the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Navarro lab is interested in understanding how bacteria remodel their cell envelope to carry out complex cellular processes such as growth, division and morphogenesis. We are an interdisciplinary team of young researchers that combine state-of-the-art cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and image processing with genetics, experimental bacteriology and light microscopy. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of cryo-ET, image processing, and bacterial cell biology.

**Job information**:
Expected start date: earliest 01.09.2025
Contract length: 1 year, maximum 4 years
Activity rate: 100%
Workplace: University of Lausanne

**Your responsibilities**:
**Your qualifications**:
**What the position offers you**:
We offer a stimulating environment in a young international research group that uses integrative approaches combining state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging, experimental molecular and cellular microbiology and advanced image processing for cryo-electron tomography. We are part of the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary, and team-oriented scientific environment with expertise ranging from molecular biology, cellular microbiology and biochemistry to microbial ecology and evolution. Our group has strong links with the Dubochet Center for Imaging and the Electron Microscopy Facility of UNIL. We have access to three 300 kV Titan Krios, an Aquilos 2, various scanning electron microscopes, a float 200-120 kV screening electron microscopes and light microscopes, systems for correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM, THUNDER Leica) and cryo-EM sample preparation equipment. A solid infrastructure and training for the computational aspects of the projects will be provided by centralized services on site at UNIL. Last but not least, our department is situated on a beautiful campus at the shore of Lake Leman with a great view of the Alps and with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities.
