PhD Position in Microbial Ecology and Evolution
Vor 3 Tagen
Company Overview
\The University of Lausanne (UNIL) is a leading international teaching and research institution with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students. We are committed to excellence, individual recognition, and responsibility.
\Salary
\The PhD position is fully funded, offering a competitive salary and benefits. Our state-of-the-art infrastructures provide access to cutting-edge research facilities, including microscopy, proteomics, sequencing facilities, and high-performance computational clusters.
\Job Description
\We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our team as a PhD student in comparative genomics and bioinformatics or experimental biology of the gut microbiota. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on an SNSF Starting grant project and an international collaboration called GLOMUS.
\The project aims at understanding how the gut microbiota co-evolved with their mammalian hosts using computational and experimental approaches. The PhD can choose between two research axes:
\- \
- Computational focus: leveraging large metagenomic datasets and using comparative genomics approaches to measure to what extent gut microbes and their mammalian host co-diversified for millions of years.\
- Experimental focus: isolating, whole-genome sequencing, and phenotypically characterizing gut bacteria from wild micro-mammals.\
Required Skills and Qualifications
\To be considered for this position, applicants should have a master's degree in (experimental) microbiology, bioinformatics, mathematics, ecology, evolutionary biology, or any related topic. Prior research experience in large-scale sequence data analysis, microbial ecology, and evolution would be desirable.
\Benefits
\We offer a stimulating environment in a young research group combining computational, experimental, and conceptual/theoretical approaches to study symbiosis in the gut. Our department is situated on a beautiful campus with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition, and responsibility.
\Others
\Our team is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion within our community. We strive to create an open and respectful environment that is conducive to personal development. We support early career researchers and offer working conditions that facilitate work-life balance.
