Postdoctoral Researcher: Investigating Antimicrobial Resistance in Water Samples
3 dagen geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will contribute to two research projects related to the environmental dimension of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The main 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.
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD degree in (eco)toxicology, microbiology, analytical chemistry or a related field, with a strong experimental background in (eco)toxicology and/or microbiology. Experience in in vitro toxicity testing, preferably with bacterial culturing techniques, is also required. The candidate should be able to work independently and in collaboration with others, and have strong oral and written communication skills in English.
The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers a challenging position in a socially engaged organisation. The university is committed to research, valorisation and training socially engaged citizens of the world who will make valuable contributions to a sustainable, healthy future. The successful candidate will join a team of researchers and students who are passionate about environmental research and its applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop bioassay by applying molecular techniques such as cloning, expression of fluorescent proteins in bacteria, cell sorting;
- Run in vitro bioassays on water samples;
- Mechanistic modelling of chemical toxicokinetics and -dynamics;
- AMR and antibiotics impact assessments for local population and environment.
Requirements
- PhD in (eco)toxicology with microbiological affinity, or PhD in microbiology with (eco)toxicological affinity;
- Knowledge of, and experience with, molecular techniques such as transformations, cloning, cell sorting;
- Affinity with in vitro toxicity testing, preferably with bacterial culturing techniques;
- Extensive experience in (mechanistic) biological and chemical modelling;
- Ability to work independently and in collaboration with others;
- Strong oral and written communication skills in English.
