Postdoctoral Researcher in Microbiome Analysis of the Soil-plant-gut-health Axis
**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Natuurw., Wiskunde & Informatica**Opleidingsniveau**:Gepromoveerd**Functie type**:Researcher**Sluitingsdatum**:31.10.2024**Vacaturenummer**:13418- In the NWO-KIC project MicroHealth, we study the role of the microbiome in the relationship between soil, agricultural products and health of humans. This relationship has enormous societal implications because agriculture has a large impact on our environment and food is the number one driver of human health.- In MicroHealth, with a team of plant and human biologists, sociologists and data analysts, we will establish the connection between the impact of agriculture on the soil and plant quality/microbiome and the consequences for the health of humans, as well as the social and political context of this connection. We will achieve this by- 1. studying the impact of farming strategies on the soil and crop microbiome and crop nutritional composition;
2. an intervention study in the HELIUS cohort tracing crop-related microbiome and nutritional composition changes and- its relation to health status;
3. advanced bioinformatics analysis and statistical modelling that integrate the results of activities 1 and 2;
4. embedding the study in research on opportunities and conflicts in policies and stakeholder-networks and microbiome-related- health practises at the household level.- For integrating the metagenomics data from soil, crop and the human gut microbiomes by bioinformatics analysis of single nucleotide variants and by extension of structural equation/causal models (activity 3), we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a passion for interdisciplinary microbiome research and a background in bioinformatics, bio-data science and/or bio-statistics.- You will be based at the Biosystems Data Analysis research group of the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) and collaborate with PhDs and postdocs from SILS and the Amsterdam University Medical Centre (AUMC) who will be responsible for the other activities. The Biosystems Data Analysis research group develops and validates methods for organizing, summarizing, and visualizing complex biological data through the integration of bioinformatics and biostatistics.**What are you going to do?**
- You are expected to:
- develop bioinformatics and statistical modelling methods for detection and analysis of direct and indirect effects
- in the integrated soil-crop-gut-health axis;
- collaborate with research partners within the MicroHealth consortium;
- report and present your work-progress on a regular basis to the research partners and stakeholders within the consortium;
- publish your results in high level international journals and present at leading conferences;
- be active in the fundamental and/or applied research of our Biosystems Data Analysis group.
**What do we require?**
- You:
- hold a recent PhD degree with a focus on bioinformatics and/or statistical modelling of microbiomes,
- yielding one or more related publications as first author in a peer-reviewed scientific journal;
- are passionate about data analysis and have appropriate computational skills;
- enjoy working in inter
- and trans-disciplinary settings;
- speak and write fluent English;
- have a strong team orientation plus the ambition and ability to take ownership of the research project.
- Our selection will be based on your scientific track record, your vision on this research project, and your ambition and skills.**Our offer**
- We offer a temporary contract for 38 hours a week, preferably starting on 1-1-2025, for the duration of 35 months.-
