Odense M

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.

We offer:

  • Fully funded position for three years
  • Fully equipped shared laboratories and highly supportive environment at the research unit Molecular Microbiology, as well as state-of-the- art facilities for support
  • International collaborative work environment
  • Unique opportunity to be first-hand involved in building a brand new lab group at early stage of your career
  • Opportunity to be involved in teaching and supervising undergraduate or master students.

We are looking for a candidate who has:

  • A Master's degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology or Microbiology, or expectancy to complete the Master's degree by 31 January 2023. Interdisciplinary students with a background in microbiology are also welcome to apply.
  • Ideally a good experimental background in molecular microbiology. Hand-on experience with fluorescence microscopy will be a plus.
  • A high intrinsic motivation and capacity for independent work. You must be open-minded to different research ideas and challenges, and bold ideas are very welcome.
  • Good communication and collaborative skills and proficiency in spoken and written English. You will work and discuss closely with PI and other colleagues in the Molecular Microbiology Research Unit which is why this is important.

For more information about this position and project, please contact Dr Lin Lin, [email protected].
