德国莱布尼茨天然产物研究和感染生物学研究所的博士后职位

　　The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans Knöll Institute – (HKI, www.leibniz-hki.de) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and identifies targets for the development of novel natural product-based antibiotics. The Department of Infection Biology invites applications for

　　Post Doctoral Researcher (m/f)

　　Successful candidates will investigate the field Complement Evasion of pathogenic microbes including in particular Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Main topics of the project are

　　·         Characterisation of fungal immune evasion proteins

　　·         How do microbial immune evasion proteins influence innate and cellular immune response?

　　·         Functional characterization of FHR5 recruitment by pathogenic microbes

　　For further details please see literature below:

　　Requirement: PhD degree in biology, genetics or life sciences. Experience, knowledge and good experimental skills in cell and molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry are of advantage.
