Short Description of the Thesis/Topic:
Antibiotic resistance is a significant global public health problem threatening the effectiveness of modern medicine. In a cooperative project, the BiMM Research Platform (https://www.bimm-research.at) has identified a candidate substance from a secific bacterium that can break the resistance against a popular class of antibiotic used in human and veterinary medicine. This substance should now be isolated and characterized in this Master Thesis project with part-time employment. The work will include the following tasks:
- bacterial genome sequencing and genome analysis
- optimization of production conditions
- activity-guided isolation by analytical and preparative HPLC combined with microbiological resistance tests
Required Skills and Knowledge:
If you are interested in the molecular genetics of microbes and bioactive microbial substances, if you have a solid background in molecular biology and biochemistry and you would like to work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary project in a scientifically and socially stimulating working atmosphere, then please apply for this position.
Additional Information:
The work will mainly be carried out in the laboratories of the IMiG at the BOKU Campus Tulln (https://boku.ac.at/agri/imig/arbeitsgruppe-strauss), part of the work will happen at the Vetmed (https://www.Vetmeduni.ac.at/lebensmittelmikrobiologie/ueber-uns/team-kathrin-kober-rychli) in Vienna.

Short Description of the Thesis/Topic:
Colitis is a frequent and serious problem in horses as well as humans. The pathophysiological mechanisms are supposed to involve a complex crosstalk between immune cells and epithelial cells that results in destruction of the epithelial barrier and further progression of disease. This project aims to establish a co-culture model of equine colon epithelium and immune cells to characterize the signalling pathways involved and to test new therapeutic approaches.
Required Skills and Knowledge:
High motivation, experience in cell culture work and/or molecular biology;
BSc degree in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biomedicine or a related subject
Further Information:
We offer a highly supportive team, established methods and guidance by supervisor and colleagues.
Language of the Thesis:
German or English
Duration of the thesis:
6 months
Name of the Institute/Clinic/Unit:
Institute of Physiology, Pathophysiology and Biophysics, Department of Biomedical Sciences & Clinic for Horses, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna

Kurzbeschreibung der Abschlussarbeit/des Themas:
Eine passende Vitaminversorgung spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Gesundheit, Fruchtbarkeit und Leistung der Milchkühe. Oft kommt diese leider zu kurz mit negativen Konsequenzen, insebesondere bei Hochleistungsmilchkühen. In diesem Projekt soll im Rahmen eines praxisnahen Versuches der Einfluss eines gezieltes Zusatztes an fettlöslicher un wasserlöslicher Vitamine auf die Gesundheit und Leistung untersucht werden.
Anforderungen/erforderliche Kenntnisse:
Ein überdurchnittlich-abgeschlossenes Studium der Veterinärmedizin, vorzugsweise mit Vertiefung in Widerderkäuermedizin und Interesse an einer Forschungsarbeit zum Thema Ernärhgung und Gesudnheit der Kühe. Fähigkeit der Verfassung von Publikationen in Englischer Sprache. Gute Deutschkentnisse sind von Vorteil.
Zustätzliche Bemerkungen:
Auch Studierende am Ende des Studiums können sich bewerben. Die Dissertationsstelle wird bis zu 30 h/Woche nach dem KV bezahlt werden.
Voraussichtliche Dauer der Abschlussarbeit:
01.05.2024 bis 30.04.2027
Sprache, in der die Abschlussarbeit verfasst werden soll:
Englisch

Required Skills and Knowledge:
Over the past years, Vienna has developed into one of the leading centres of population genetics. The Vienna Graduate School of Population Genetics has been founded to provide a training opportunity for PhD students to build on this excellent on-site expertise.
We invite applications from highly motivated and outstanding students with a love for evolutionary research and a background in one of the following disciplines: evolutionary genetics, functional genetics, theoretical or experimental population genetics, bioinformatics, mathematics, statistics.
Additional Information:
Only complete applications (application form, CV, motivation letter, university certificates, indication of the two preferred topics in a single pdf) received by 14 May 2025 will be considered. Two letters of recommendation need to be sent directly by the referees.
PhD students will receive a monthly salary based on currently € 2.464,80 before tax according to the regulations of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
