- University: Leibniz Universitat Hannover
- Department: Institut fur Mikrobiologie
- Position: 3 years PhD position in Bacterial Signalling Networks
- Research Group: Natalia Tschowri Group
- Location: Hannover, Germany
- Duration: 3 years (extendable)
- Start Date: Immediately or on agreement
- Project: Within the framework of the ERC-funded project "SecMessFunctions," the successful candidate will work on identifying key components and switches in second-messenger signalling cascades in bacteria. The research aims to understand how these networks control cell differentiation and bacterial adaptation to stress, with potential implications for optimizing antibiotic production in biotechnology.

Fields:
Candidates from the following fields can apply:
- Microbiology
- Biochemistry
- Molecular biology
- Microbiological techniques
- Fluorescence microscopy
Candidates from related fields in the life sciences or microbiology disciplines may also be eligible to apply.
