VHIR offers a vacancy/vacant position for Post-Doctoral Researcher within the Microbiology Research Group
and the Shock, Organ Dysfunction and Resuscitation Group.

The Research Group of Microbiology at Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) focuses on the study of the
microbiology aspects involved in the infectious diseases aimed at improving developing basic, translational
and clinical research that could improve the outcomes of patients with infectious diseases. We work with
special interest in studying the mechanisms involved in antimicrobial resistance, the sexually transmitted
infectious diseases, the study of viral and fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, the microbial
mechanisms involved in pathogenicity, microbial epidemiology as well as in the design and evaluation of new
molecular infectious disease diagnostic systems. More information about the Microbiology Research Group
