ERC funded postdoc on high-throughput microbial genetics to investigate bacterial immunity

Postdoc Posted on 04 Feb 2026

Employer

Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine Tübingen (IMIT), Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany

Description

This is an ERC funded project and it aims to systematically map drug and genetic interactions of bacterial immunity in microbial isolates using high-throughput genetics (Brenzinger et al, 2024, Nature Microbiology). The ideal candidate will do wet-lab work at the interface of microbiology and functional genomics, and more specifically develop transposon- and CRISPR-based approaches to characterise genome-wide regulation of bacterial defence systems.

The candidate should have:

• a PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry or related subjects

• strong interest in genome-wide functional genetic methods, such as transposon

or CRISPR assays. Previous experience is an advantage, but not a requirement.

• scientific creativity and drive to address fundamental biological questions working in multidisciplinary teams

• excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

We offer

Our multidisciplinary and international team combines basic microbiology with high-throughput screening and systems biology approaches to improve our understanding of bacterial molecular networks of drug resistance and pathogenicity. We have access to state-of-the-art robotic platforms for profiling bacterial physiology, and core-facilities for next-generation sequencing and metabolomics. We support career development, as well as continuous mentoring opportunities.

How to apply

Send your application as one pdf file by email to [email protected]. The file should contain: a cover letter, your CV (including contact details of 3 academic referees and publications list), a short summary of relevant projects, and certificates. If have any questions, visit us at www.brochadolab.com or contact Prof. Dr. Ana Rita Brochado (ana.brochado(at)uni-tuebingen.de).

Application email: [email protected]

Application deadline: Saturday, 28 February 2026 (in 0 minutes).
