The research of the successful candidate will complement current activities in the field of virology at the University of Bern, for instance with a focus on emerging and/or neurotropic viruses. We seek a highly qualified scientist with a clear focus on experimental virology who may benefit from the local availability of BSL3+ lab and gnotobiotic rodent and zebrafish facilities. Competence for in-house collaborations with our Virology Diagnostics department in cell culture-based method development would be an asset.
The successful candidate will lead an independent and internationally competitive research team that will attract external funding and will contribute to our teaching activities at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.
