Research Associate in Bacterial Super-resolution MicroscopyEdinburgh, Midlothian, United Kingdom
Applicants are invited for a post-doctoral RA position that will examine the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) found in many Gram-negative bacteria. We recently discovered that the T6SS can also be used as a potent weapon against fungal competitors and identified the first fungal-specific T6SS effector proteins, which cause fungal cell death. This system is likely to be widespread and represent a key determinant of competitive inter-microbial interactions in diverse polymicrobial communities, including those relevant to health and disease.Research Associate in Bacterial Super-resolution MicroscopyAdd Job to My Job Selections
