About us

The Institute of Infectious Diseases combines medical services, teaching and research under one roof and covers the entire breadth of microbiology. With 200 employees, it is the only university institute in Switzerland to combine all specialised microbiological disciplines. The Institute for Infectious Diseases is the seat of the National Reference Center for Pneumococcal Diseases and the National Center for Antimicrobial Resistance on behalf of the Federal Office of Health. Our biosecurity center is a collaboration center of the World Health Organization (WHO). The increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections requires new treatment strategies. The laboratory “robbery bacteria” by Prof. Simona Huwiler conducts basic research on predator bacteria with the aim of understanding the microbial interaction between predator and prey. Do you want to work in a dynamic environment where teamwork is valued and cohesion counts? If you are open, motivated and willing to take responsibility, we look forward to getting to know you.
