Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 24 months
Extent: 100 %
Location: Institute of Medicine, Göteborg
First day of employment: As agreed
Reference number: PER 2012/90
Our group is interested in how the normal gut microbiota affects host metabolism by combining clinical oriented and animal research.
Subject area
Microbiology/enteroendocinology
Specific subject description
We recently demonstrated that the normal microbiota is altered in patients with metabolic diseases and that germ-free mice are resistant to developing diet-induced obesity. Furthermore, germ-free mice have improved glucose metabolism and altered expression of several gut hormones.
Job assignments
Assessment of glucose metabolism. Microscopy, cell sorting, evaluation of glucose metabolism and gene expression analysis.
Eligibility
To qualify as a postdoctoral fellow you must have completed a Ph.D. in a subject area relevant for the position or you must have a foreign degree corresponding to a Ph.D. in a subject area relevant for the position. Preference will be given to candidates who have been awarded the degree no more than three years before the application deadline. Applicants with a degree earlier may be preferred if specific reasons exist. Such specific reasons may be a leave due to illness, parental leave or other similar circumstances.
Assessment
The successful candidate is expected to be at ease collaborating with other scientists within a larger team. Documented experience of working with animal physiology, preferably in mice, is expected.
