We, the research group Spahn, are looking for a motivated student assistant to support us experimentally in the wet lab as soon as possible.

Our group is located at the Rudolf Virchow Center in the University Hospital area in Grombühl. In our research, we focus on the investigation of bacterial organization using high-resolution microscopy. These modern methods enable us to image bacteria with a resolution of a few nanometers, thereby gaining insights into fundamental biological processes.

Figure 1: Super-resolution microscopy reveals details of bacterial organization.

To investigate the organization of Escherichia coli cells, we need assistance in diverse research areas. The tasks of the assistant include cultivation of bacteria, preparation of samples for microscopy, as well as microscopic analysis of these samples. The project also requires molecular biology work in the form of plasmid cloning and, possibly, protein purification and fluorescent labeling.

We are looking for interested candidates with the following profile:

- Bachelor's degree in a biological field of study

- Experience in at least one of the following areas:
  microbiology, molecular biology, or microscopy

- High level of motivation and willingness to learn

- Careful and reliable working

- Strong team player, good English skills

The student assistant position is limited to a period of 6 months due to the nature of the project, with a weekly working time of 10 hours.

If you are interested, please send your application, consisting of a short motivation letter and CV, to the following mailing address:

Inka.robinson@uni-wuerzburg.de
