PhD position in Drug Resistance Evolution (m/f/d)

PhD position in Mathematical modelling of drug resistance evolution

100%, fixed-term

Professorship in Pathogen Evolution (ETH Zurich and Eawag) is seeking a highly motivated PhD Candidate to study drug resistance evolution in various pathogens through population genetic modelling.

Project background

The main objective of the project is to develop a polygenic model to investigate the mechanisms underlying drug resistance evolution, focusing in particular on ploidy, reproductive mode and lifestyle. The target organisms will be bacteria, fungi and parasitic worms. While the position is theoretical, the student is encouraged and expected to collaborate with our experimental collaborators. More information about the project can be found on the project website. The position is for 48 months.
