The Research Group of Dr. Arnaud Kengmo Tchoupa at the Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine (IMIT) is recruiting a postdoc to study phage biology, with a focus on temperate phages, lipid modifying enzymes (LIMEs), and Staphylococcus aureus. The project aims to decipher whether and how temperate phages (un)lock LIMEs and potentially shape lipid landscapes at bacteria–eukaryotic host interfaces.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field; experience with molecular cloning and bacterial strain engineering; scientific creativity and strong motivation for fundamental biological research; excellent English communication skills.
Funding and conditions: the position is funded by CMFI, classified as E 13 TV-L at 100% employment, and is initially limited to one year. The post offers a stimulating international environment, technical support, mentorship, access to state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure and core facilities, and support for future fellowship applications (e.g. EMBO, Marie Skłodowska-Curie).
How to apply: email your application to Dr. Arnaud Kengmo Tchoupa with a cover letter, CV (including three academic referees and a publications list), and relevant certificates. Informal inquiries are also welcome by email. Applications are reviewed from 2026-08-15 until the position is filled.
