We are looking for two enthusiastic and ambitious postdocs, one with a background in vaccine research and, or immunity related research and one with experience in bacterial metagenomics and, or host-microbe interactions including bacterial pathogens. The postdocs will work together with PhD students in a European project on a global programme for prevention of Streptococcus suis disease, involving 9 partner organisations and coordinated by the host laboratory. S. suis is a major bacterial pathogen, affecting mainly young piglets around the time of weaning. S. suis is also a zoonotic pathogen of humans and infections worldwide have increased significantly in the past years.
