Das sind wir: The Research Training Group (RTG) 2740 which has started on January 1^st 2022, is a research consortium funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation). It consists of 11 research groups focusing on the in situ analysis of micromilieu factors and metabolites in the context of microbial infections (https://www.immunomicrotope.de/). The RTG 2740 is located at Friedrich-Alexander-University (FAU) Erlangen-Nuremberg, one of the largest research universities in Germany. For our project “*Micromilieu control of Salmonella* virulence*” within the RTG 2740 we are looking for an open and dedicated PhD student with a great interest in microbiology and infection biology research. In cooperation with the group of Prof. Dr. Jonathan Jantsch (University Hospital Cologne), the project aims to investigate the impact of intestinal environmental signals, such as hypoxia, to modulate Salmonella* virulence functions. The understanding how Salmonella virulence is triggered in response to intestinal environmental cues might aid the development of anti-virulence strategies. Your tasks: Starting from January 1^st 2025, the work program includes: Generation of Salmonella mutants Comparative transcriptomics of bacteria and infected host cells Cell culture infection models Reporter gene studies ..and more!
