Postdoctoral Researcher: Environmental Toxicology and Microbiology

Job Description

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team in 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 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. The candidate will also use their experimental results to develop an in silico mechanistic model of the relationship between antibiotic exposures and AMR selection.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD 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 highly desirable. The candidate should also have demonstrable experience with translating experimental findings into computational in silico models and assessments, using R, Python, or more advanced programming languages.

The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic and interdisciplinary team, working on cutting-edge research projects that aim to address the urgent global health threat of AMR. The position offers a challenging and rewarding opportunity for a highly motivated and talented researcher to contribute to the development of innovative solutions for environmental health and sustainability.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement an in vitro bioassay for AMR selection potential of water samples
  • Conduct in vitro bioassays on water samples
  • Develop and apply in silico mechanistic models of the relationship between antibiotic exposures and AMR selection
  • Contribute to the development of innovative solutions for environmental health and sustainability
Requirements
  • PhD in (eco)toxicology, microbiology, analytical chemistry, or a related field
  • Strong experimental background in (eco)toxicology and/or microbiology
  • Experience in in vitro toxicity testing, preferably with bacterial culturing techniques
  • Demonstrable experience with translating experimental findings into computational in silico models and assessments
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
