As part of a new EU-funded project, the Microbiome Dynamics (MBD) department contributes to developing microbiome-based creative solutions to address precision nutrition for immune health in obese people. We are seeking an excellent and enthusiastic Ph.D. student in the fields of metabolic modeling and/or microbiome data to work on this project and collaborate closely with an extensive network of top European scientists and start-ups. The objective of the Ph.D. project is to conduct extensive in silico microbiome metabolic modeling to predict food-microbiome interactions and their effects on immune health.
The candidate will also have the opportunity to contribute to several national and international research projects focused on the role of the microbiome in globally significant diseases. Together with renowned scientists and supported by an excellent infrastructure, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a healthier, cleaner, and fairer society. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary is paid according to German TV-L (salary agreement for public service employees). As an equal opportunity employer, the Leibniz-HKI is committed to increasing the percentage of female scientists and, therefore, especially encourages them to apply.
