**Post-Doctoral Researcher - Microalgae in Human Nutrition and Health**:
This is a joint project between the ETH Sustainable Food Processing Group and Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics Group in the Department of Health Science & Technology (D-HEST).- The
- **ETH Sustainable Food Processing Group** uses a combination of innovative sustainability assessment and emerging food production approaches to target fundamental challenges in agri-food systems. This group is highly interdisciplinary, cross-cutting across sustainability, nutrition, bioengineering, and food science domains. One major focus of the team is emerging microalgae-based food production for more sustainable and nutritious foods.- The
- **Laboratory of Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics acts as Co-Host** in this project and studies the molecular interplay between nutrition, metabolism and the epigenome. The group uses a translational approach from in vitro systems and mice to humans combining next-generation sequencing, single-cell methodologies, genetics, cellular and molecular biology to decipher mechanisms that contribute to the development of chronic metabolic diseases and ageing.-
**Job description**:
- to quantify nutritional and health impacts of microalgae biomass fractions in vitro (cellular systems) in a broader scope, and
- to link these in vitro results to targeted and focused in vivo analyses using animal models such as mice and/or mini pigs
- An additional focus will be the comparison with other future foods and alternative proteins (e.g., plant-based foods, cultured meat, and insects) in collaboration with several international partners. The whole research is strongly aligned with our Singapore ETH Centre SEC led project on Urban Microalgae-Based Protein Production.**We offer**:

- Continuous training opportunities
- Support for career development in academia, entrepreneurship, and industry
- An interactive and diverse team culture
- A flexible working environment with home office options

**Your profile**:
Youwill have a Doctoral degree (or equivalent) in Nutrition, Metabolic Research, Health Sciences, or a closely-related field, with excellent academic qualifications. You must be fluent in both written and spoken English. Relevant experiences in vitro and in vivo analyses of nutritional and health impacts will be considered a plus. An independent and self-motivated researcher who is able to work in a fast-paced interdisciplinary environment is highly appreciated.**ETH Zurich**:
