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…
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 using experimental evolution to understand the impact of phage therapy on Clostridioides difficile December 1, 2024 C. difficile is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics and thrives in the disrupted gut environment created by antibiotic treatment. C. difficile is a spore-forming…
PhD Opportunity to work on efficacy of phage cocktails for eradicating MDR E.coli from the GI tract of colonised livestock species November 29, 2024 Examples of common E. coli bacterial diseases include colibacillosis in chickens and swine caused by avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli…
PhD opportunity to work on Structural and Molecular Characterising of Non-Typhoidal Salmonella November 28, 2024 This project aims to characterize the SPFM10 jumbo phage and understand its structural and molecular mechanisms of bacterial recognition, binding, and infection. These insights…
PhD opportunity to work on impact of Hypermutability and Restriction-Modification by Campylobacter jejuni, on Bacteriophage Control Measures November 26, 2024 Campylobacter jejuni is a major foodborne pathogen responsible for gastroenteritis every year. The major source of infections by this bacterial pathogen is contaminated poultry products. C….
