Microbiology Graduate Research

Position: Microbiology Graduate Research Opportunity
Join the Booth Lab at the University of Manitoba as a graduate student. Focus on bacterial competition and its implications for infection dynamics.

The University of Manitoba’s Booth Lab seeks a graduate student (MSc or PhD) to lead research on how bacterial pathogens interact. This position involves studying Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus in relevant media. You will perform biofilm assays under varying conditions to analyze how other bacteria affect competition outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Explore interstrain bacterial competition mechanisms

• Execute colony biofilm assays in infection-simulating media

• Analyze interactions and effectiveness among bacterial strains

• Study the influence of environmental factors on competition

• Work collaboratively within a diverse research team

Requirements:

• Degree in microbiology or related field

• Familiarity with bacterial culturing and molecular biology techniques

• Excellent analytical and data interpretation skills

• Strong commitment to scientific inquiry

• Good written and verbal communication

Engage with innovative microbiological research and contribute to our understanding of bacterial interactions at the Booth Lab.
