Two postdoctoral positions are offered in the lab of Felipe Cava, former MIMS Group Leader, currently Senior PI at MIMS and Professor in Molecular Biology at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University in Umeå, Sweden.
The offered positions are for 1) a postdoctoral researcher in microbiology, and 2) a postdoctoral researcher in data-driven antimicrobial-resistance research.
Position 1
Postdoctoral position for a Microbiologist
Project: The Cava lab at the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) and the Department of Molecular Biology (Umeå University) is a multidisciplinary and stimulating research space that investigates bacterial cell wall biology and genetics at the interface between basic and clinical research. Our goal is to improve the inventory of players in cell wall biogenesis, remodeling, and regulation, characterize the function and interplay of known components, and evolve our work into quantitative studies and computational modeling. This research program has potential in the development of novel antimicrobial strategies to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.

Position 2
Postdoctoral position in data-driven antimicrobial research
Project: The Cava lab at the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) and the Department of Molecular Biology (Umeå University) studies a major “Achilles heels” of bacteria - the cell wall - both to provide answers to fundamental scientific questions and to improve our options to combat long-standing and emerging infectious diseases. The goal of this project is to improve the inventory of players in cell wall biogenesis and regulation, characterize their function and interplay, and evolve our work into quantitative studies and computational modelling. This research program has potential in the development of novel antimicrobial strategies to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
