Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Microbiology -University of Southern Denmark (SDU)

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in molecular microbiology with focus on molecular host-pathogen interactions during bacterial infections. The position is for two years with the possibility of extension. The expected starting date is 1 October 2020 or soon thereafter.

We seek an outstanding scientist with a strong background in molecular microbiology as documented by publications in leading journals. The ideal candidate also possesses outstanding communicative skills as well as an open and collaborative personality. The postdoctoral fellow will become part of a young, dynamic and ambitious team of microbiologists working in diverse areas of clinically relevant molecular microbiology. Within the framework of the newly established Centre for Translational Microbiology the successful applicant will be working together with molecular biologists and clinicians, who all share a profound interest in bacterial pathogens. We study drug resistance and virulence mechanisms in major human pathogens using a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach. The current position will focus on molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of Escherichia coli and other pathogens infecting the human urogenital system.

BMB provides a modern and international environment for education and research at the interface of natural science and health science. The department contains absolute cutting-edge instrumentation for bioanalytical science, such as biological mass spectrometry, super-resolution microscopy and next-generation sequencing. In addition, various experimental infection models are available to study human cell-bacterium interactions and bacterial biofilms.

Deadline: 4 September 2020.
