Overview
The aim of this PhD project is to study the pathogenesis and molecular biology of influenza A viruses in animals with focus on swine and birds. The focus of the research will be on host range determinants of influenza A virus including detailed studies of the impact of genetic shift and drift. The main task will be to establish a plasmid system which will be used for the study of specific mutations in selected animal influenza A viruses. The PhD-student will develop and validate two different in vitro systems which involve molecular cloning, transfection of cells and maintenances of primary cell systems.
Qualifications
Applicants with the following qualifications are preferred:
- A master's degree in either veterinary medicine, biology or a comparable discipline or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree
- Experience in virology, molecular methods and/or cell culture work
- An interest in virology, molecular biology and zoonotic diseases
- Fluency in English
- Good social skills, innovative and interested in communicating research results
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarships for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval and the candidates will be enrolled in the Life Science PhD programme of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship study, please see the DTU PhD Guide
Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.Further informationFor further information please contact senior scientist Lars Erik Larsen, phone +45 3588 6274 +45 3588 6274 .
