Department of Biology, Section of Microbiology

University of Copenhagen
This PhD scholarship is associated with the project “How multispecies biofilms cope with phage infections – COPE” founded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The overall aim of the project is to uncover fundamental principles of bacteria-bacteriophage (phage) interactions in complex multispecies biofilm settings. A collection of bacteria and associated phages will be studied at high resolution by specific fluorescent labelling, advanced microscopy, cell sorting and genome sequencing. Specifically, effects of the biofilm matrix, spatial organization, and presence of other species on phage susceptibility of biofilm bacteria will be identified. Also, long-term evolutionary responses to phage and/or antibiotic exposure will be evaluated using experimental evolution and genome mutation mapping.
The main tasks of this PhD project are 1) to establish a multispecies biofilm and analyze if non-susceptible species protect sensitive ones from phage infection, and how this relates to species diversity, spatial organization ect., and 2) genetically modify the model strains for application in in vitro models and microscopy analysis. Engineered strains will then be introduced to experimental designs in various in vitro model systems followed by structural and functional characterization of the community, specifically focusing on phage tolerance.
The position is for 3 years, and the project will be carried out at Section of Microbiology, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen where you will engage in teamwork within the group and with national and international collaborators.
The position is to be filled by 1 January 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter.
The principal supervisor is Professor Mette Burmølle, PhD, Section of Microbiology, Department of Biology.
The PhD programme
A three year full-time study within the framework of the regular PhD programme (5+3 scheme), if you already have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master’s degree.
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. [Microbiology, Biology, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Molecular Biology or similar]. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
