(2) Molecular epidemiological studies in endemic areas and identification of factors contributing to epidemics
(3) Analysis of the pathogenic mechanism of Salmonella and development of vaccines
We are looking for a "next-generation researcher who can take a leading role in one of these themes and develop research on bacterial infectious diseases endemic in tropical regions on a global scale using a bioinformatics approach". In addition to research activities, the candidate will also assist in educational activities such as lectures and practical training related to bacteriology and infectious diseases at graduate and undergraduate schools. -
