We are offering 15 positions for early-stage researchers to participate in the EVADERE (Enhanced VAccines DEsign against antimicrobial REsistance) program, an EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD training network, in the fields of medicinal chemistry, immunology, microbiology, medical sciences, and vaccinology. If you want to make a difference in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance, sign up for the program! The information and requirements for applying can be found here: https://evadere1.eu/jobs.

At the HUN-REN TTK AKI the doctoral candidate (DC) will be trained in peptide synthesis and related organic chemistry to produce multi-epitope vaccine constructs. In cooperation with our industrial partner, Cyclolab, we will provide training in vaccine delivery and formulation techniques, as well as related analytical and characterization methods. In the host group, DC will receive training in working with cell cultures and performing basic biological studies (cell viability tests, cellular uptake, and cytokine production assays), and will work, in collaboration with other DCs, on adjuvant delivery, microneedle patches and vaccine efficacy tests.

Deadline: April 30, 2026, 5:00 p.m. GMT. Start of the PhD program: September 1, 2026.
