Postdoctoral Researcher in Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance
1 week ago
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be working on a fully funded 2-year project focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance.
Project OverviewThe project, titled "Breaking Antimicrobial Resistance by Targeting Potentiators", aims to combat antimicrobial resistance by delineating the molecular mechanisms whereby intrinsic bacterial factors, so-called "potentiators", allow bacteria to develop high-level resistance to antibiotics. The project will focus on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the resistant pathogens having the greatest clinical impact.
Responsibilities- Conduct state-of-the-art molecular methods within microbiology and immunology to investigate the Spx controlled bacterial stress response and its role in potentiating both virulence and antimicrobial resistance in MRSA.
- Collaborate with leading researchers from University of Copenhagen, University of Southern Denmark, Statens Serum Institute, University of Greifswald, and Harvard Medical School.
- Contribute to the development of novel targets that can be used to disarm bacteria by either restoring antibiotic sensitivity or by preventing production of central virulence factors.
- Participate in the supervision of students and postdoctoral researchers in the group.
- PhD degree in molecular microbiology or a related field.
- Solid experience in relevant methodologies such as bacterial molecular biology, functional genomics, protein biochemistry, microscopy, and/or antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
- Hands-on experience with bioinformatic genomic analyses.
- A documented publication record, preferentially with at least one first author paper in an international peer-reviewed biological journal.
- An open-minded and enthusiastic personality.
- Ability to work independently and efficiently as part of a team.
- Excellent English communication skills both oral and written.
- An interest in teaching.
The University of Copenhagen offers a highly international research environment with a collaborative atmosphere and is supported by state-of-the-art Core Facilities and administrative services. The department offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including a pension scheme and opportunities for professional development.
How to ApplyTo apply, please submit your application, including the following documents in PDF format:
- Motivated letter of application (max. one page).
- CV incl. education, experience, language skills, and other skills relevant for the position.
- A certified copy of PhD certificate and Master of Science certificate. If the PhD is not completed, a certified/signed copy of a recent transcript of records or a written statement from the supervisor will do.
- List of publications.
The application deadline is October 1st, 2024, 23:59 CET. We reserve the right not to consider material received after the deadline, and not to consider applications that do not live up to the above-mentioned requirements.
