Almost two years after the first group picture, here’s an
updated one with the current members of the lab.
It’s a bit tricky to get everyone in one room given our hybrid work
arrangements, but hopefully it won’t be 2 years until we rember to
take another picture!

After a long wait made of various bureaucratic and pandemic-related
hurdles, the lab is finally at its full capacity!
We also finally managed to get everyone in one room long enough to
take a photo.

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to study
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) using high-throughput laboratory evolution
and genomics. Potential research topics include the influence of genetic
background on the evolution of AMR, dynamics of horizontal gene
transfer in microbial communities, and resistance to sequence-based therapeutics.
We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in molecular biology, microbiology or
evolutionary biology and with significant molecular biology experience.
Previous research in the area of antimicrobial resistance is optional, as well
as experience in liquid-handling platforms and basic computational biology.
We offer a contract with an initial period of 2 years with the possibility of
further extensions, and the opportunity to be trained in microbial genomics and
computational biology.
The lab is located in Hannover, an affordable
and vibrant city.
More information about the project and the research environment is available
here. Canditates should apply following the instructions found in the
MHH website.
Informal inquiries are welcome, please do get in touch with us if you have any questions!
We are hiring! We are looking for a computational biology PhD student to
undertake research in the area of microbiology and machine learning.
We are looking for a candidate with a master’s degree in either biological
sciences or computer science; ideally the candidate would have some prior
exposure to computational biology and/or machine learning; the principal
investigator (Marco) is however committed to provide training opportunities to
best equip the successful candidate to carry out this project and to help
the candidate’s career, in academia or industry. The successful candidate
might be able to join the ZIB graduate school.
More information about the project and the research environment is available
here.
Canditates should apply following the instructions found in the
MHH website,
before Novemeber 4th.
Informal inquiries are welcome, please do get in touch with us if you have any questions!
This post marks the start of the “Microbial Pangenomes Lab”!
Hopefully we will soon start to populate this website with job ads
and eventually papers and software.
