Umeå, Västerbotten, Sweden Umeå University Full time
Project Description

The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy state. However, the molecular characterization of its constituent species is still in its infancy. The presence of pathogenic species or imbalances in the composition of commensal species has been associated with various diseases. Understanding the mechanisms by which these species interact with each other is essential for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Research Objectives

In this project, you will investigate the growth interactions between different bacterial species in the human gut microbiome. You will use a combination of proteomics, metabolomics, and traditional molecular biology approaches to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions. Additionally, you will study these interactions in the context of a microbial community.

Qualifications

To be eligible for this position, you must have completed a doctoral degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related field. You should also have experience in cultivating and monitoring bacterial growth in anaerobic conditions, as well as expertise in proteomics, biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques. Good oral and written proficiency in English is also required.

Desirable Skills
  • Experience with bioinformatics tools and software
  • Knowledge of microbial ecology and community dynamics
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills
What We Offer

As a postdoctoral researcher at Umeå University, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment. You will be part of a team of experienced researchers and will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
