PhD Opportunity in Characterisation of the Biological Features of Phages through Large-Scale Analyses December 18, 2024 The project represents an ambitious attempt to delve into this universe of uncharacterised biodiversity through a series of sequential investigations. The first step will…
Opportunity to work on developing biosensors to detect phage replication December 17, 2024 When phages kill bacteria, they cause changes in the bacterial membrane that can be detected using electrical impedance spectroscopy. This project aims to develop…
Opportunity to join Helmholtz Research Groups with Jun. Professorships (RNA-based Infection Research/Medicine/Biology) December 16, 2024 The Faculty of Medicine of the Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg and the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI, Würzburg) jointly open a call for…
Opportunity to work on ZombiePhage: how do bacterial viruses evolve into useful weapons? December 15, 2024 Prophages are parasitic genetic elements that integrate within the genomes of bacterial hosts, bursting out with deadly effects in response to stress. Intriguingly, host bacteria…
Opportunity to work as a Senior Scientist, NextGen Sequencing (NGS) Assay Development for Crawford Lab December 14, 2024 The lab of Jeremy Chase Crawford in the Department of Host-Microbe Interactions is seeking a highly skilled Sr. Scientist to develop and implement novel…
PhD in undertsanding how antibiotics and bacterial defence systems interact to limit antibiotic resistance transmission December 12, 2024 This project will investigate how AMR plasmids, bacterial defenses, and antibiotic treatment interact to determine the overall spread of AMR plasmids. To do this,…
Opportunity to work as a research technician at UCL December 11, 2024 Looking for an enthusiastic and experienced research technician to join the Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Solid Tumors and Sarcoma group of Dr Sophie Postel-Vinay and the…
Oppotunity for PhD or Post-Doc in Bacteriophage Engineering at VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology December 10, 2024 A major limitation of phage therapy is the typically very narrow host ranges of phages that are isolated from nature. This means that novel…
Phd Opportunity in Combined Therapeutic Efficacy of Phages and Probiotics to Control Avian Pathogenic Escherichia Coli December 9, 2024 Colibacillosis is one of the most common and important diseases in poultry production often linked to extra-intestinal colonization of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC)….
PhD opportunity to work on Combinations of bacteriophages and cold plasma for biofilm biocontrol December 4, 2024 The ongoing antimicrobial resistance crisis has incentivised research into alternative antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. One of them is cold plasma and plasma-activated water (PAW),…
