**PhD student position: Metabolic pathways of mineral balance and their microbial modulation**
A PhD student position is open at the Institute of Physiology, University of Zurich, Switzerland.
Minerals such as calcium and phosphate are essential nutrients, yet, can cause also disease when present in excess. The intestine absorbs minerals and this process is highly regulated. We recently identified a novel disease where intestinal mineral absorption is enhanced possibly due to altered microbial metabolites.
The aims of the PhD project are 1) to use enteroids to screen bacterial metabolites that modify intestinal mineral handling, 2) identify pathways elicited by metabolites, 3) investigate the crosstalk of the intestine with other organs to control mineral metabolism, and 4) examine the impact of genetic variants identified in large genetics screens using cellular systems.
The project is located at the Institute of Physiology (group C.A. Wagner). The PhD is also embedded into the PhD program “Biomedicine” under the umbrella of the Life Science Graduate School Zurich.
We offer a highly stimulating and diverse research environment with state-of-the art infrastructure. The salary of the position is according to the regulations of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
**Job Type**: 100%
Pay: CHF45’000.00 - CHF50’000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
