POSTDOCTORAL SCIENTIST POSITION FOR ONE YEAR TO DECIPHER ON HOST - PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS USING SYNTHETIC GENOMICS
100%

We are looking for a flexible, enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to join our international and dynamic team to work on the project: “Deciphering mycoplasma-host interactions using synthetic genomics”. Earliest starting date is April 2025.

Our lab works on host-pathogen interaction of pathogenic mycoplasmas, which are minimalistic, cell wall-deficient bacteria. A better understanding of host-pathogen interactions driving pathogenicity is the aim of the project. We focus our activities on Mycoplasma mycoides, a deadly goat pathogen.
The aim is to pinpoint mycoplasma virulence traits and to get mechanistic insights into Host-pathogen interactions.

Responsibilities
  • Manipulation of the Mycoplasma mycoides genome using synthetic genomics
  • Supervision of staff
  • Assistance in resource mobilization
Requirements
  • A PhD degree in the field of microbiology, biochemistry or immunology
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Curiosity and a high level of perseverance would be an asset
We offer
Our institute is situated just a few minutes away from the center of the UNESCO world heritage old city of Bern. The remuneration is in accordance with the SNF regulations (annual brutto starting salary of ≈ CHF 90,000 to 102,000).
