Subject area
The subject area for this position is Biomedicine.
Background
The postdoc position is part of a recently granted 3-year EU project on probiotic treatment of hyperuricaemia, with an individual perspective considering specific probiotic mechanisms, genetics, and gut metabolic activity. The project is in close collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, Leiden University Medical Centre, and industrial partners from Denmark and France.
The position will be located at the School of Medical Sciences (MV) within Örebro University, a modern and expanding university with approximately 1,600 employees and 17,000 students, known for its prominent research activities. MV also hosts the university's medical program and contains several strong research centers primarily focused on inflammation, metabolism, and nutrition.
The position will be part of the interdisciplinary research centre Responsive Nutrition (Rosetta@oru) which is a central part of Örebro University's strategic knowledge profile in Food & Health. The Responsive Nutrition research centre focuses on internationally leading validated methods and models to assess the benefits of food and dietary supplements for gut, metabolic, and mental health, and to determine who benefits from specific dietary changes throughout the lifespan.
Duties and responsibilities
The appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is intended to enable persons who have recently been awarded their doctoral degree to consolidate and develop primarily their research skills.
The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in planning, conducting and analysing results of two nutritional intervention studies and one ex vivo study (faecal fermentation). Important tasks include recruitment of hyperuricaemic and healthy study participants, planning and conducting screening and follow-up study visits, handling the collection of biological samples, being involved in the laboratory analyses of the biological samples, statistical analyses and publication of the results. The position also involves writing ethical applications and supervising students involved in the project.
