Description
The University of Gothenburg is hiring a fixed-term, full-time research assistant for six months to investigate how antimicrobial peptides form perforations in living bacterial membranes using high-resolution atomic force microscopy. The role involves optimizing bacterial-cell immobilization, performing AFM and fluorescence microscopy, culturing genetically modified bacteria, conducting membrane-permeabilization assays, and presenting experimental results. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree or be pursuing a master’s degree in a relevant life-science subject, documented experience with AFM, fluorescence microscopy, bacterial cells, surface functionalization, antimicrobial peptides, and genetically modified bacteria, and strong English skills.
