Open position for a PhD student on persistence of intracellular infection in the team of F. Van Bambeke
Our laboratory is interested in so-called "persistent" infections, i.e. infections refractory to antibiotic treatment. More specifically, we study specific forms of infections (such as intracellular infections) and try to understand the reasons why they do not respond to antibiotic treatments.
The thesis project will aim at studying the intracellular survival of E. coli in the presence of antibiotics, in particular in in-vitro pharmacodynamic models allowing to mimic the fluctuations of antibiotic concentrations observed in-vivo (according to the pharmacokinetic profile of the drugs).
The topic of the thesis is part of a large project including laboratories of 4 Belgian universities and one laboratory in Germany. Exchanges between these laboratories are planned.
Required skills : microbiology, pharmacology, molecular and cellular biology.
Other requirements : knowledge of English, mobility between laboratories in Belgium or abroad, capacity to work in a team, autonomy and creativity.
Diploma : master (120 credits) in pharmaceutical or biomedical sciences or similar discipline; obtained with honors (> 70%)
Starting of the project : early 2022 ; financing for 4 years.
Interested? Send your CV, including your academic degrees, a cover letter and if possible a letter of recommendation before 30/12/2021 to Prof Françoise Van Bambeke (francoise.vanbambeke@uclouvain.be)
