Postdoctoral Researcher: Bioassays for Antimicrobial Resistance Selection in Water Samples

1 week geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland VU Amsterdam Voltijd

Research Focus

The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment (A-LIFE). The successful candidate will contribute to two research projects related to the environmental dimension of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The primary focus will be on the development of an in vitro bioassay for AMR selection potential of water samples, as part of the NOSTRA project. Additionally, the candidate will use experimental results to develop an in silico mechanistic model of the relationship between antibiotic exposures and AMR selection.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and apply molecular techniques such as cloning, expression of fluorescent proteins in bacteria, and cell sorting to create a bioassay.
  • Run in vitro bioassays on water samples to assess AMR selection potential.
  • Develop mechanistic models of chemical toxicokinetics and dynamics to predict AMR impacts.
  • Conduct AMR and antibiotics impact assessments for local populations and environments.

Requirements

  • PhD in (eco)toxicology with microbiological affinity or PhD in microbiology with (eco)toxicological affinity.
  • Knowledge of molecular techniques such as transformations, cloning, and cell sorting.
  • Affinity with in vitro toxicity testing and bacterial culturing techniques.
  • Extensive experience in mechanistic biological and chemical modeling.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively with others.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills in English.
