Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: Microbiology, Bacterial Cell Wall Biology and Genetics
Location: Umeå University, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification: The candidate must hold a University degree in Molecular Biology or Microbiology equivalent to a European University PhD at the time of recruitment. The candidate should be highly motivated, have excellent communication skills, and the ability to work in a team. A good working knowledge of standard molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry techniques is required. It will be particularly qualifying to have demonstrated expertise in high-throughput genetics (To-seq) methods. The candidate needs to be skilled in both oral and written communication in English.
Job Description: The Cava lab investigates bacterial cell wall biology and genetics at the interface between basic and clinical research. The goal is to improve the inventory of players in cell wall biogenesis, remodeling, and regulation, characterize the function and interplay of known components, and evolve the work into quantitative studies and computational modeling. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research independently, collaborate with colleagues in the lab, and contribute to the development of novel antimicrobial strategies to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
How to Apply: A complete application should be sent in English to Felipe Cava (felipe.cava@umu.se) including (1) a cover letter summarizing your qualifications and motives for applying, (2) a curriculum vitae, and (3) contact information for three references. The application should be in Word or PDF format.
