Doctoral Position in Host-microbiome Interactions

vor 1 Woche

Lausanne, Waadt, Schweiz Université de Lausanne Vollzeit

Introduction:


The University of Lausanne is a higher teaching and research institution composed of seven faculties where approximately 17'000 students and nearly 5'000 collaborators, professors, and researchers work and study.

Ideally situated along the lake of Geneva, near Lausanne's city center, its campus brings together over 120 nationalities.

Presentation:


The Department of Fundamental Microbiology offers a doctoral position in host-microbiome interactions assessing the role of the early life gut microbiota in nutritional disorders.


Do you like to dig deep into the « why » and molecular mechanisms underlying host-microbiome interactions? We offer a fully funded PhD position in the Vonaesch lab at the University of Lausanne aimed at disentengling the role of the early life microbiome in nutritional disorders.

The projet is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation through the National Competence Center in Research (NCCR) Microbiomes.

The project is aimed at shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay of the small intestinal microbiota with stunted child growth and elucidate the mechanisms leading to ectopic colonization by oral bacteria, which is one of the factors implicated in pathophysiology.

The Vonaesch lab is hosted by the Department of Fundamental Microbiology in Lausanne.

Our work is centered on the role of the microbiota and the gut ecosystem in different forms of malnutrition in order to contribute to the understanding of the syndromes and harness then this knowledge to develop powerful interventions strategies and treatments.

We are also more generally interested in the role of the microbiota in the triad linking gut health, infection and nutrition.

To this purpose, we perform clinical/translational projects, especially in low-and middle income countries (LMIC) and analyze the underlying molecular mechanisms using in vitro and in vivo mouse models.


This PhD project will offer you the opportunity to perform your PhD thesis with us and to work alongside a young and dynamic team of microbiota experts.

You will also be an active member of the NCCR Microbiomes, a thriving initiative to strengthen research on the microbiome in Switzerland with excellent collaboration and network opportunities.
