Postdoc in High-throughput Microbial Genetics
Postdoc in High-throughput Microbial Genetics
University of Tübingen
Tübingen, Germany
The Systems Biology of Antibiotics group of the Cluster of Excellence “Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections” (CMFI) at the University of Tübingen is recruiting a Postdoc in high-throughput microbial genetics (d/f/m, E 13 TV-L, 100%) to start as soon as possible working on ERC funded research, initially limitated to three years.
The project aims to systematically map drug and genetic interactions of bacterial immunity in microbial isolates using high-throughput genetics (Brenzinger et al, 2024, Nature Microbiology). The ideal candidate will do wet-lab work at the interface of microbiology and functional genomics, and more specifically develop transposon- and CRISPR-based approaches to characterize genome-wide regulation of bacterial defence systems.
The candidate should have:
- a PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry or related subjects;
- strong interest in genome-wide functional genetic methods, such as transposon or CRISPR assays. Previous experience is an advantage, but not a requirement;
- scientific creativity and drive to address fundamental biological questions working in multidisciplinary teams;
- excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
