About the Project
Job Advertisement HKI-27/2019
The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans Knöll Institute – (HKI, www.leibniz-hki.de) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and identifies targets for the development of novel natural product-based antibiotics. The Molecular and Applied Microbiology invites talented and highly gifted candidates to apply for a
Doctoral Researcher or postdoc position (f/div/m) Fungal Microbiology
starting as soon as possible for three years initially.
Successful candidates will work within the framework of the joint French-German project “Antifungal resistance: From surveillance to treatment (AReST) – Screening for antivirulent compounds and analysis of their mode of action”.
Main topics of the project are:
• Setup of a screening platform, based on fungal infection models of human cells with the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
• Mode of action studies by transcriptomics and proteomics
• Molecular biological characterization of antifungal or antivirulent drug targets
Our requirements: We expect a Master’s degree (or comparable) in Life Sciences (Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology) with a good background in standard techniques of molecular biology and microbiology. Knowledge of and hands-on experience in cell culture techniques, infection biology, and proteomics are advantageous. We would welcome a highly motivated co-worker with excellent communications skills and the ability to work on a cross-disciplinary project.
We offer an interesting, multifaceted project, which involves different academic research institutions in Germany and France, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and great work opportunities in a dynamic research institute with high reputation. As a doctoral researcher, you will be a member of the International Leibniz Research School (ILRS Jena), which offers an excellent structured postgraduate education.
Salary is paid according to German TV-L 13 (65 %, salary agreement for public service employees). As an equal opportunity employer, the HKI is committed to increasing the percentage of female scientists and therefore especially encourages them to apply.
