TRANSCRIPT
ANTIBIOTICS AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
4 year PhD student position in biomedical engineering at the University of Tartu, Institute of Technology
We are looking for enthusiastic and talented future PhD students who want to
conduct their doctoral studies in biomedical engineering at the Institute of
Technology, University of Tartu. Professor Tanel Tenson’s work group
investigates the mechanisms of antibiotic action and antibiotic resistance at
three integrated levels: biochemical mechanisms of action, bacterial cell biology
and bacterial population biology.
The aim is to provide tools for combating the spread of
antibiotic resistance and development of new antibiotics.
The research will be performed in recently upgraded facilities
including animal house, proteomics and DNA sequencing
facilities, microscopy and flow cytometry units etc. We have
many tight international collaborations, involving student
exchange programs, with Umea University in Sweden, University
of Munich in Germany and University of Illinois in Chicago, USA.
PhD students have the possibility to join projects in several integrated domains of research:
I. Studies on the inhibitors of protein synthesis at biochemical level &
development of new protein synthesis inhibitors.
II. Phenotyping heterogeneity of bacteria & following bacteria at the
single-cell level in a mouse infection model.
III. Molecular mechanisms of phenotypic heterogeneity and bacterial
antibiotic tolerance.
IV. Epidemiology of antibiotic resistance, including the transfer routes
between human and animal pathogens and the environment.
Application requirements: Candidates should have a master’s degree or
corresponding level of education in molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacy or other related
fields.
Candidates should contact Marta Putrinš ([email protected]) before 31th
of January 2015; provide the CV and a short
motivation letter. Early application is strongly encouraged.
