The section of Family Medicine and Primary Care has an ongoing project aiming to identify novel microbiome-derived mechanisms leading to kidney and cardiovascular disease. We are creating a unique comprehensive multi-omics framework, comprising gut and urinary microbiome, genomics, and metabolomics and proteomics analyses in feces, blood and urine as a basis for discovery along the gut-kidney-cardiovascular axis.
We are looking for an applicant who is strongly motivated in investigating novel aspects of the gut-kidney-cardiovascular interplay using large scale omics-data. In this position as postdoctor you will be carrying out research in the research group of Professor Johan Ärnlöv at the division of Family Medicine and Primary Care. Planned research projects aims to 1) Investigate associations between gut microbiome characteristics and the interplay between kidney and cardiovascular disease; 2) carry out the first-ever urinary microbiome-wide association study in the community and investigate the importance of the urinary microbiome for kidney and cardiovascular disease; 3) perform untargeted analyses of multi-omics data, using supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods in order to get novel insights into underlying system biology leading to kidney and cardiovascular disease.
Moreover, the successful candidate is expected to play a role in grant applications, doctoral students supervision, teaching to undergraduate and graduate students, and in the expansion of the current research line.
The employment as postdoctoral researcher is time limited for 2 years. This is a full-time position.
