PhD Fellowship in Antimicrobial Phage Proteins
The Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position focused on the discovery of small antimicrobial phage proteins. This program is part of the EU-funded END2AMR consortium (European novel drug research to address microbial Infections and drug resistance), addressing one of the most urgent global challenges — antimicrobial resistance — through next-generation phage-based therapeutics.
Research Focus
- Bioinformatic discovery of antibacterial proteins and peptides from bacteriophage genomes
- Experimental validation and mode-of-action studies
- Engineering and optimization of antimicrobial candidates
Qualifications and Skills Required
- PhD in molecular microbiology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, or related fields
- Strong experience in bioinformatics and microbiology
- Interest in phage biology and antimicrobial research
For inquiries: contact Principal Supervisor of the project, Prof. Lone Brøndsted at lobr@sund.ku.dk
