Postdoctoral Position in Host-microbiome

vor 1 Woche

Lausanne, Schweiz Université de Lausanne Vollzeit

**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

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

The project is funded through an SNSF (Swiss National Science Foundation) Starting Grant. The project is aimed at shedding light on strain-adaptation to changing nutritional environments and their pathophysiological consequences. The project combines work in a gnotobiotic murine animal model with different wet-lab and multi-omics techniques.

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 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. The Balmer lab is hosted at the University of Bern (SITEM) and is interested in the role of the microbiome in overnutrition and metabolic disease.

This postdoc position will offer you the opportunity to work alongside a young and dynamic team of microbiota experts. You will further be part of the vibrant microbiome scene in the Arc Lémanique and Switzerland, with ample possibilities for networking and collaboration.

**Job information**:
Expected start date: 01.07.2024 or upon mutual agreement.
Contract length: 1 year, renewable 1 year
Activity rate: 100%
Workplace: University of Lausanne but with frequent work trips to Bern

**Your responsibilities**:

- Your responsibilities will include:
- Plan and execute animal and wet lab experiments
- Willingness to take part in the necessary regulatory courses as well as continuing education for the license to perform animal work
- Help to organize eventual amendments to the ethical animal protocol
- Help to organize the animal facility at DMF
- Perform data analysis using R and other statistical programs as needed (both 16S and shotgun metagenomics data, metabolomics data, metatranscriptomics)
- Contribute to teaching duties (especially supervision of younger students) and general life at the Department of Fundamental Microbiology
- Write reports and publications
- Disseminate your results at national and international conferences
- Other laboratory-based and analysis tasks as needed within the project and larger group
