Brief description:
Most of the resistance genes that cause problems in the clinic today seem to originate from harmless, environmental bacteria. Our group studies the driving forces behind this development, particularly the effects of low levels of antibiotics and antibacterial biocides in wastewaters from hospitals, municipalities and industries (see Larsson’s website). In some sub-projects, we study the evolutionary relationship between resistance genes in environmental bacteria and pathogens, and search for new forms of resistance in different environments using both bioinformatic methods as well different large-scale functional screens. We also study how analyses of resistant bacteria in sewage can inform predictions of the local, clinical resistance situation. A better knowledge about all these processes and drives will be valuable to be assess and respond to threats to our health. We are now looking for a postdoctoral fellow who is interested in taking on the task to experimentally explore the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance.

Brief description:
NBIS is looking for a motivated and knowledgeable Data steward, to join our Data management team. We are looking for a person who wants to enable Life Science research in Sweden that is beyond what is achievable for individual researchers, a single university, or a single research area. As a Data Steward you will work closely with, and guide research groups regarding Data Management Plans, and support researchers with metadata management and data curation for data publishing. A large focus will be to establish and perform procedures for user support to researchers wanting to deposit human genetic data. An important part of the work is also to educate researchers in data management best practices. You are also expected to contribute to Data Management capability development in international projects on management of genomic data and medical informatics where NBIS is active, as well as to Research Data Management competence networking within Sweden.

Employer: Umeå University

Brief description:
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.

Brief description:
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.
