About us
The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. With its non-clinical facilities as well as its research and teaching area corresponding to the organizational units of the University Hospital, it is one of the largest medical training and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg.
About the research group
Newly established research group at the interface of medical microbiology, bacterial genomics and machine learning (AG Sattler). We develop data-driven approaches to antimicrobial resistance diagnostics and investigate the genomic epidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacteria, combining computational analysis with experimental validation. The position offers the opportunity to obtain a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) and is embedded in national and international research consortia (DZIF, ESGEM-AMR).
