Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres

Opportunity to work as Junior Group Leader in Phage Biology & Biotechnology

Join an exciting research position and an independent, internationally visible research program in the area of phage-host interactions and their applications. Research areas include,

  • Impact and application of viruses infecting bacteria
  • Biology of their hosts at the cellular or molecular level
  • Utilization of phages for microbiome modulation (in particular focusing on plant or soil microbial communities)
  • Identification and molecular characterization of new antiviral defense mechanisms and their applications in bioengineering
  • Establishment of sustainable phage-based biocontrol strategies.


Develop an independent and internationally visible research program and participate actively in microbiological research initiatives (e.g. CRC 1535 “Microbial Networking) at the Forschungszentrum and the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf.
