Investigating Host-Pathogen Interactions in Bacterial Quorum Sensing
4 days ago
Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at the Max Planck Institute in Marburg. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a fully funded PhD project investigating the mechanisms of quorum sensing in Klebsiella pneumoniae, with a focus on host-pathogen interactions.
Research Project
The PhD project aims to uncover the molecular dialogue between bacteria and their hosts, which plays a critical role in virulence and infection processes. This knowledge will inform novel therapeutic strategies against antibiotic-resistant infections and advance our understanding of microbial pathogenesis and host defense.
Project Details
The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and offers opportunities to develop expertise in molecular microbiology, microbial pathogenesis, host defense, and bacterial signaling. The position is fully funded for three years, with a flexible start date upon agreement.
Candidate Profile
- A Master's degree (or near completion) in Microbiology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related life science field
- Strong motivation to pursue research in microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions
- Keen interest in molecular and cellular biology techniques
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a diverse, international team
- Excellent communication skills and a commitment to scientific rigor
Application Process
To apply, please submit a single PDF file containing your CV, degree certificates, and transcripts, along with a cover letter describing your motivation and research interests. Please note that early applications are encouraged.
