The National Food Institute (DTU Food) offers a 3.5 years position as postdoc in molecular microbiology and ecology of the intestine.

You will be part of the Research group for Gut, Microbes and Health. We offer an ambitious, dynamic and sociable research environment with lots of exiting challenges and opportunities.

The postdoctoral position is affiliated to two different projects within our research group. The project 'Novel alternatives to antibiotics by mining human gut microbiome data' (1 year) has as its goal to identify novel substances with antibiotic effects, based on metagenomic data from human fecal samples. This is a collaboration with bioinformaticians at Copenhagen University, and your part will be focused on wet-lab evaluations of inhibitory effects of the novel substances.

The other project that you will work on, is 'Center for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation' (2.5 years). This is a collaboration with Aarhus University Hospital, and your part will revolve around sequence-based and other analyses of samples from patients suffering from infection with Clostridium difficile, and transplanted with feces from healthy donors.

You will work in a multi-disciplinary team and will be responsible for driving the progress of the microbiological work within the two projects described above.

Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent.

We expect that you have a solid background in life science and intestinal microbial ecology.
