Jülich, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

Your Job:

The MOI-V Manchot Graduate School`s research programme focuses on the functional characterisation of molecules that are essential for infections with a wide variety of pathogens. The interaction partners involved are investigated both on the host side and on the pathogen side. Doctoral scholarships are awarded within the four research areas of the MOI-V Graduate School.

Your PhD project will focus on novel antiviral (antiphage) strategies of bacteria. In particular, you will study the role of secondary metabolites and their mode of action in the defense against viruses infecting actinobacteria (Streptomyces).
Your methodological focus will be on molecular microbiology, next-generation sequencing (NGS, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq), LC-MS/MS, and fluorescence microscopy.

Please find further information about the project here: and about our research group "Bacterial Networks and Interactions", lead by Prof. Dr. Julia Frunzke, here:

Your Profile:

Your profile in detail:

MSc degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or similar disciplines
Experience in and enthusiasm for Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Virology/Phage Biology
Fluent command of written and spoken English
High degree of independence and commitment
Reliable and conscientious style of working and excellent ability to cooperate and work in a team

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment at one of Europe's largest research establishments
Outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure
Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
Continuous scientific mentoring by your scientific advisor
Innovative, structured training and research programme in a stimulating, interdisciplinary environment of biology and medicine, through the Manchot Graduate School Molecules of Infection V (MOI-V)
A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
Further development of your personal strengths, through an extensive range of training courses; a structured program of continuing education and networking opportunities specifically for doctoral researchers via JuDocS, the Jülich Center for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors:
