Post-Doctoral Researcher APC Microbiome Ireland

12 Months, Fixed-Term, Whole-time Post


Position Summary
APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) was formed in 2003 (previously the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre) with funding from Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland and in conjunction with key industry partners. It represents a seamless collaboration between UCC and Teagasc Moorepark, with a number of partner institutions located across Ireland including NUIG, UCD and UL. Over the last decade the APC has established itself as one of the leading global centres in gut microbiota research. The APC has made several landmark discoveries and has published over 3500 research articles in peer-reviewed journals, generating many journal covers and associated editorials. The APC comprises over 300 individuals, from the scientific PI’s, the management team, clinicians and a dedicated group of research scientists, research assistants and postgraduate’s students.
The team of Dr Sebastian Schmidt at the APC Microbiome and School of Medicine is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study microbial strain-level diversity in the global microbiome. The successful candidate will use computational biology and machine learning approaches to mine large-scale metagenomic datasets for insights into microbial ecology and evolution across different habitats and phylogenetic resolutions. One particular focus will be on strain-level dynamics in human-associated habitats in response to external influences, such as the impact of diet and lifestyle. We are looking for a motivated candidate with prior research experience in bioinformatics or computational biology, metagenomic data analysis and human or environmental microbiomes.
UCC is an accredited research organisation and as such can form hosting agreements with third country nationals (and non-EEA nationals) for the purpose of conducting research in the University.


Project Title: Strain diversity in the global microbiome
Post Duration: 12 Months
Salary: €44,347 - €50,805, (IUA PD1 Salary Scale)
