Temat: Oferta doktoratu na Uniwersytecie w Lozannie

Cześć, koleżanka przesłała mi następującą ofertę może ktoś z Was będzie zainteresowany. Nie wiem czy jeszcze aktualne, bo dostałem to w zeszłym miesiącu. Mam to też w pdf-ie jakby ktoś chciał to w jakiejś bardziej przystępnej formie.

"PhD position, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
Evolutionary microbiology of staphylococci

A PhD student position is available at the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, University of Lausanne under joint supervision of Dr. Olga Sakwinska and Prof. Philippe Moreillon.
The work in the lab concentrates on microbial pathogenesis, microbial cell wall function, as well as testing of antimicrobial agents and development of alternative treatments. Diverse approaches are used, including experimental infection, genomics and proteomics. The focus is on gram positive bacteria, and in particular Staphylococcus aureus. Recently, Dr. Sakwinska initiated project focusing on evolutionary and ecological interactions among staphylococci (for more details see
http://unil.ch/dmf/page28596.html ). Within this framework, different projects can be done with a focus on molecular, ecological or epidemiological questions and techniques, depending on the skills and preferences of the applicant.
The Department of Fundamental Microbiology at the University of Lausanne is a highly interactive, international research and study environment (see http://unil.ch/dmf ). Neighboring Department of Ecology and Evolution and Centre of Integrative Genomics provide diverse intellectual expertise and technical support (see http://unil.ch/cig/ and http://unil.ch/dee/ ). Located on the shore of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is an attractive city with a diverse cultural offer, while the proximity of the Alps and Jura mountains opens countless opportunities for outdoor activities.
The salary is 40’000-45’000 CHF per year (brut).
Applicants must have a university degree in the natural sciences which allows entering a PhD program (typically a Masters’ degree), and very good organizational, analytical and writing skills. Background in molecular biology/microbiology and at least basic knowledge of bioinformatics are required. Candidates with interest in evolutionary genetics/genomics are particularly welcome. Good knowledge of English (both spoken and written) is essential for research activities. Although no preexisting knowledge of French is required, willingness to learn some will make life both at and outside the Department much easier. All PhD students are enrolled in doctoral school of Faculty of Biology and Medicine (for more info: http://unil.ch/fbm/page35108_en.html )
The starting date is AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, preferably in November 2007.
