The Institute for Molecular Infection Biology at the University of Würzburg is
seeking doctoral researchers and postdocs to drive a 5-year collaborative
research program on RNA-based antibiotics. The program aims to build a platform
technology for the computational prediction, molecular analysis and validation of
next-generation programmable antibiotics. For more information on the project,
see
www.bayresq.net/projekte-rbiotics-de/
Successful candidates will work in the groups of Profs. Jörg Vogel, FranziskaFaber
or Lars Barquist, which bring together expertise in pathogenic model organisms,
state of the art RNA-centered molecular biology and computational biology. As a
member of the interdisciplinary team, the candidates will apply molecular
approaches in anti-infectives research, high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNAseq)
and other functional genomics techniques, as well as innovative statistical and
machine learning methods to develop RNA-based anti-infectives targeting single
microorganisms in mixed microbial populations. For information on Keynote
qualifications, see:

The position can be filled in full- or part-time as soon as possible and will be
available for two years with the possibility of extension to five. Salary will be based
on the pay scale for the public sector in Germany (TV-L) and comply with
qualification. The University aims to increase the proportion of female employees,
therefore applications from qualified women are particularly welcome. Preference
will be given to handicapped persons in case of otherwise equal aptitude.
Please send your application as
a single PDF file including your CV, list of
publication, a short description of research interests, future directions and at least
two academic references
by January 19th, 2022 to Monika Schraut
(
