[Patrick Deelen]

*PhD or Postdoc position: The role of gut microbiota in immune senescence
and cardiovascular diseases*

The Departments of Genetics and Pediatrics, at the University Medical
Center Groningen, the Netherlands, are looking for a potential PhD student
or junior postdoc in the field of bioinformatics to assess the
contributions of microbiome-derived signals in the etiology of age- and
obesity-related cardio-metabolic diseases through (immune) senescence.

The candidate will investigate the role of gut microbiota composition in
immune senescence, predisposition to cardiovascular diseases, and its
relation to host genome, environment and lifestyle. This project is a part
of “Inflammatory Reprogramming by Ageing and Microbiome - Targets for
Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease”, a large, national project funded by
CVON (CardioVascular Onderzoek Nederland). This project involves
multi-omics integration in multiple human cohorts and assesses the impact
of the gut microbiota, immunological parameters related to ageing and risk
to CVD.
What do we need

   - M.Sc. (or PhD) degree in bioinformatics, computational biology,
   systems biology or a comparable discipline. The candidate with experiences
   in microbiome, metabolism and immunity is preferable.
   - Experience with advanced statistics, biology or biochemistry
   - Excellent oral and written communication skills
   - Fluency in English
