The Institute of Virology is looking for a highly motivated postdoc (f/m/x) with a strong background in host-microbe interactions to work on a project investigating phage-bacteria-host interactions using in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo systems. In contrast to the classical approaches commonly used in phage research, we are using single-cell technologies, multi-omics methods, culture-independent techniques, and machine learning to study phages and their interaction with the bacterial and human host for developing novel therapeutics. Ultimately, we are aiming to develop personalized phage-based treatments against infections by multi-resistant bacteria and for manipulating the human microbiome in dysbiosis associated diseases.
