Oferta de doctorado en microbiología y evolución (Suiza)

I am looking to recruit a motivated and curious PhD student to work on building mathematical and computational models of evolving multi-species bacterial communities at the Department of Fundamental Microbiology in  the beautiful city of Lausanne in Switzerland. The position is fully
funded with a generous salary, and can start any time after May, 2017 (exceptions can be made to start earlier).

The successful candidate will work within a multidisciplinary group to
construct models that capture interactions between five bacterial
species. These models will then be fit to data observed in the lab, and
used to make predictions that can later be validated again in the
laboratory. The work will include dynamical systems (differential
equations), individual-based models, and possibly control theory. A
background in any of these areas is not required but will be
appreciated. A passion for the subject, programming skills and a good
command of written and spoken English are required.

For more information on the type of work we do in the lab, please visit

(including a one-page motivation letter with your research interests, a
CV and evidence of a Master's degree) to sara.mitri[at]unil.ch.
