At the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology we are looking for a PhD student to join the lab of Assistant Professor Lin Lin, starting from 1 March 2023 (negotiable) at the earliest, for a period of three years. Application deadline: 31 January 2023.
The new lab will be conducting research on the understanding of the molecular cell biology of bacterial interspecies interaction, as well as host-pathogen interaction, using model organisms such as ESKAPE pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. The PhD project is aiming to explore what and how different cellular processes are coordinated during Acinetobacter interaction with other bacteria in polymicrobial community at the molecular and single-cell level, using a combination of molecular microbiology, -omics and especially high-resolution live-cell imaging. Moreover, the project will also involve studying the spatial and temporal dynamics of interbacterial interaction.
