PhD Student – Function and Regulation of Type 6 Secretion SystemStarting immediately or by mutual agreementThe Biozentrum of the University of Basel is one of the world's leading life sciences institutes. With 33 research groups and 500 employees, we are a dynamic and international research community that has spawned many fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine as well as several Nobel laureates. Join our community!The research group of Prof. Marek Basler seeks to appoint a highly motivated PhD student in molecular microbiology, protein biochemistry and bacterial cell biology. The project focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms that control the assembly and function of the Type 6 secretion system.The projectThe bacterial Type 6 secretion system (T6SS) is one of the largest dynamic assemblies in Gram-negative bacteria. It shares evolutionary origins with contractile phage tails and other extracellular contractile protein translocation nanomachines. Importantly, the unique mode of action of T6SS allows bacteria to deliver folded proteins across membranes of neighboring bacterial or eukaryotic cells (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41579-025-01256-w). Subcellular localization of T6SS assembly and timing of its firing is tightly regulated in various bacteria:Spatial positioning: Live-cell super-resolution imaging showed that Acinetobacter position their T6SS specifically at contact sites with neighboring bacteria (https://doi.org/10.15252/embj.2021108595).Tit-for-tat response: Atomic force microscopy and live-cell imaging demonstrated that T6SS assembly in Pseudomonas responds to attacks by sensing membrane damage (https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adr1713).Host interaction: During infection, T6SS in Burkholderia assembles when bacteria are trapped in membrane protrusions, enabling cell-to-cell spread (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chom.2024.03.013).Despite these breakthroughs, we still lack a fundamental mechanistic understanding of how precise timing and spatial localization are achieved, and the specific signals that trigger T6SS assembly remain unknown.Learn more about our recent research: Basler Lab Group Overview and Google ScholarYour profileWe are looking for a curious, talented, and highly motivated PhD student to join our team!Required Qualifications: An MSc degree with a research thesis in molecular microbiology, protein biochemistry, protein-protein interactions, electron microscopy, bacterial signaling, or a related discipline.Desirable Skills: Prior hands-on experience with live-cell imaging is an advantage.We offer youEnvironment: A fully funded PhD position in a highly interactive, multidisciplinary, and international research group combining expertise in molecular microbiology, biochemistry, imaging, and infection biology.Development: Structured PhD program with extensive opportunities for training, networking, and scientific exchange.Facilities: Outstanding support from specialized Biozentrum core facilities (e.g. Imaging, Biophysics, Electron Microscopy) staffed by expert scientists.Location: Basel is a vibrant, highly international city located where Switzerland, Germany, and France meet.

PhD student – Antibiotic biosensor protein engineeringStarting immediately or as per agreementThe Biozentrum of the University of Basel is one of the world's leading life sciences institutes. With 33 research groups and 500 employees, we are a dynamic and international research community that has spawned many fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine as well as several Nobel laureates. Join our community!The research group of Prof. Knut Drescher at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel seeks to appoint a PhD student in molecular microbiology, biochemistry and protein design, with a focus on the development of biosensors for antibiotics. The position is available immediately or by mutual agreement.The projectAs part of the Swiss National Competence Center in Research (NCCR) ?AntiResist", we develop new approaches to overcome the global antibiotic resistance crisis. To understand why antibiotics sometimes fail to treat bacterial infections, it is critical to measure the local concentration of antibiotics at the site of infection. We recently developed the first allosteric biosensors for antibiotics, which enabled us to perform real-time measurements of antibiotic concentrations with high spatial and temporal resolution at the site of bacterial infections (bioRxiv manuscript 2026). However, using the method we used in our previous study, we could only obtain biosensors for two classes of antibiotics. We now aim to extend this breakthrough by developing biosensors for all major classes of antibiotics using protein design and protein engineering. This project combines computational and experimental approaches to design biosensor candidates and transform them into fully functional biosensors in bacterial cells. Additionally, we will apply the newly developed biosensors for measuring antibiotic concentration dynamics inside bacterial cells in infection biology assays, ranging from biofilm treatment to stem-cell-derived organoids and bioengineered tissue infection systems.To get an overview of our lab's recent projects, take a look at our publications: https://drescherlab.org/publications.html Your profileWe are looking for a highly motivated and talented PhD student to join our lab.
