The Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena combines expertise in life, material, optical and computational sciences to elevate microbiome studies from descriptive to hypothesis-driven and functional analyses. Our core mission is to elucidate fundamental principles of the interactions and functions in microbial communities in diverse habitats ranging from oceans and ground water to plant and human hosts.

We are regularly publishing open positions here.

The junior research group of Dr. Amelia Barber invites applications for a

Doctoral Researcher (m/f/div) in Bioinformatics and Microbiology

How do microbial pathogens use extracellular RNA and/or extracellular vesicles to manipulate their host during infection? What is the role of interkingdom communication between fungi and human cells during infection? These are the central questions being addressed in a groundbreaking, collaborative project led by Dr. Amelia Barber (Uni Jena), Dr. Holger Bierhoff (Uni Jena), and Dr. Matthew Blango (Leibniz-HKI). This position will be based in the group of Dr. Barber, whose group uses both experimental and bioinformatic approaches to understand fungal infection and antimicrobial resistance.

Die Gruppe Theoretische Mikrobielle Ökologie von Professorin Rosalind Allen an der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena konzentriert sich auf Mikroben-Umwelt-Interaktionen - wie einzellige Organismen wie Bakterien in komplexen und sich verändernden Umgebungen überleben und wachsen. Wir interessieren uns insbesondere dafür, wie Bakterienpopulationen durch Antibiotika gehemmt werden, Resistenzen gegen diese entwickeln und wie sich mikrobielle Gemeinschaften etablieren und ihre Funktion aufrechterhalten. Wir verwenden Daten aus unserem Mikrobiologielabor, um theoretische Modelle für das Wachstum und die Interaktionen einzelner Zellen und Populationen zu entwickeln
