[3dem] Four PhD Positions in Structural Infection Biology

[Hons, Michael]

Dear EM Community,

The Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB), Hamburg, Germany 
invites applications for four PhD positions in the area of molecular 
infection biology.

CSSB specializes in molecular structural infection biology, utilizing 
and developing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial 
intelligence, structural biology, and multi-modal imaging. The research 
Centre is driven by twelve interdisciplinary research groups and four 
complementary core facilities forming its central hub. The facilities 
are dedicated to key areas such as protein production and 
characterization, alongside cutting-edge imaging, including electron 
cryo-microscopy and advanced fluorescent microscopy technologies.

Together, our researchers focus on understanding key molecular and 
cellular mechanisms involved in infectious diseases. Areas of 
investigation include how pathogens evade host defences and resist 
pharmacological interventions (e.g., biofilm formation), and how 
pathogens enter and proliferate in clinically relevant cells.

Project 1: Molecular rules of engagement in the biofilm matrix of 
pathogenic bacteria
Project 2: Host-Directed Therapies: Pioneering Antimicrobial Peptides 
(AMPs) in the Fight Against Mycobacteria
Project 3: Structural and Functional Characterization of Viral Amyloids: 
Deciphering the Infection-Neurodegeneration Link.
Project 4: Elucidating the roles of protein complexes in endo- and 
exocytotic processes in Plasmodium falciparum

Deadline of Application: 20.11.2024
