Join our dynamic research team dedicated to advancing knowledge in bacteriology and metrology within the field of biology through the prestigious MSCA postdoctoral fellowship. As part of the Department of Biotechnology and Systems Biology, our research group, Bacteriology & Metrology, focuses on a wide range of topics related to the biology, diversity, and detection of pathogens. As a MSCA postdoc fellow in our research group, you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research projects aimed at developing innovative approaches for the direct and indirect identification and quantification of microorganisms (EMPIR AntiMicroResist and SEPTIMET projects, Horizon project BeXyl, national projects BACTOMET, FungiMEt, Met4Lab, ProRef). These past and ongoing projects are crucial for advancing the standardization and harmonization of molecular diagnostics within the "One Health" concept, where human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected.
Led by renowned experts, we are an interdisciplinary team comprising biologists, microbiologists, biochemists, and biotechnologists. We specialize in developing molecular methods and are recognized as one of the leading European metrology laboratories in measuring nucleic acids. Our research utilizes state-of-the-art methods and technologies, including microscopy (fluorescent, electron), cell counting, flow cytometry, quantitative and digital PCR, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics. These techniques are applied across various aspects of bacteriology and metrology, enabling us to address current challenges and develop new metrological approaches to tackle emerging issues in the field. In addition to our research, we actively participate in various European projects and networks, fostering collaboration and data exchange with other leading laboratories across Europe. This collaborative approach allows us to stay at the forefront of research and make significant contributions to the advancement of our research fields.
