PhD candidate on diagnosis and antimicrobial resistance of sexually transmitted infections – Deadline 27 maart
PhD candidate on diagnosis and antimicrobial resistance of sexually transmitted infections, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, CAPHRI – Department of Medical Microbiology.
Sexually transmitted infections are on the rise! To stop transmission, developing innovative diagnostics and monitoring of antibiotic resistance are crucial. Apply to investigate this in a dynamic multidisciplinary environment!
The project is situated in the setting of the national reference laboratory for Chlamydia trachomatis, which is hosted by Maastricht University Medical Center. The work is performed in close collaboration with researchers from the Public Health Service South-Limburg (GGD Zuid-Limburg) and the Living Lab Public health and is part of a long-standing joint line of research on sexually transmitted diseases. The collaboration with the public health service ensures a stimulating environment and complements some of the more fundamental aspects of the project with opportunities for direct application of the findings in clinical practice. Furthermore, you will have close interactions with other researchers and PhD students working on complementary projects both at MUMC, the Public Health Service South-Limburg and the RIVM.
