Postdoc in Microbial Metabolomics and Microbiology
il y a 4 semaines
**Job description**:
The project’s scope can be flexibly tailored to suit the postdoc’s interests and future goals.
This is a starting lab, meaning the postdoc will get significant hands-on time with brand-new mass spectrometers and other cutting-edge equipment, and will play a prominent leadership role in shaping the lab environment. The postdoc should be open to working in interdisciplinary collaborations to broaden their scientific network and research repertoire.
**Who we are**:
The lab of Sammy Pontrelli will start at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology in January 2025. Our interdisciplinary research involves developing metabolomics methodology to study enzymes, microbial physiology, and microbial communities in new ways. The overarching goal is to identify the key factors controlling microbe-mediated carbon storage in the ocean, with a heavy focus on using model microbial systems in the lab.
VIB is an entrepreneurial non-profit research institute across 5 universities with a strong track record of translating scientific breakthroughs into societal innovations and biotech companies. The Center for Microbiology in Leuven is embedded within KU Leuven, one of Europe's oldest and most prominent universities, consistently ranked in the top 50 worldwide. Leuven is located 10 miles from Brussels, with frequent direct train connections to Brussels airport.
**Profile**:
**Essential**
- PhD in a biologically related field (Microbiology, biotechnology, etc)
- Basic laboratory experience with molecular biology, microbiology or enzyme assays
- Experience leading a molecular-level, biologically oriented project
- Excellent communication skills in English
**Desirable but not required**
- Detailed understanding of central carbon metabolism and/or environmental microbiology
- Experience with _in vitro_ enzyme assays
- Knowledge of open-source metabolomics data analysis software, such as MZmine
- Programming skills in R
- Hands-on experience with untargeted high-resolution mass spectrometers
**Key personal characteristics**
- Willingness to participate in interdisciplinary collaborations
- Ability to take on leadership and mentoring roles in a starting lab, including equipment responsibilities
- Commitment to an inclusive and diverse lab, promoting a positive environment
**We offer**:
- State-of-the-art QTOF mass spectrometers and other equipment
- Ability to work on high-impact research topics
- Possibility to participate in interdisciplinary conferences
- Training in high-throughput metabolomics, enzymology, and microbial physiology
The starting date is around March to April 2025, for a duration of up to 5 years.
**How to apply?**:
- A description of why you are interested in this postdoc position and your career aspirations
- A description of your previous metabolomics and wet lab experience, and the biological questions you addressed in your PhD.
- Your CV
- Contact information of at least 2 references
Applications must be submitted before January 15 2025, and interviews will commence shortly after.
