The Institute of Microbiology invites applications for the position of a PhD Student (m/f/d) in Bacterial Signalling Networks (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 65 %) starting as soon as possible or on agreement. The position is limited to 3 years with the possibility for extension.
Responsibilities and duties
The successful candidate will work within the framework of the ERC-funded project “SecMessFunctions”. The main goal of the project is to identify key components and switches in second-messenger signalling cascades and to understand how such networks control cell differentiation and bacterial adaptation to stress. By using antibiotic-producing Streptomyces bacteria as a model, this work may also contribute to optimization of antibiotic production in biotechnology.
