　　The recently established junior research group of Dr. Lisa Maier is seeking to recruit an outstanding

　　Postdoctoral fellow in the field of microbiome engineering.

　　The project aims at developing microbiota-targeted interventions to treat environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a widespread disease among malnourished children that results in stunting with profound socio-economic consequences. The project will be at the forefront of research in microbiota-targeted interventions and the results will be of direct use to children living in the most impoverished regions of this world.

　　Benefits:

　　This post-doctoral project is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and is embedded in a larger project executed in close collaboration with the Vonaesch Lab, Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel. The Maier lab uses cutting edge technologies for high-throughput systems biology approaches in commensal bacteria and has access to various core facilities. We actively support our lab members with continuous scientific mentoring and academic training.

　　We offer remuneration in accordance with TV-L (collective wage agreement for the Public Service of the German Federal States) (E13, 100%, 2 years) in addition to all the customary benefits granted to employees working in Public Services.

　　Qualification profile:

　　The candidate will be responsible to systematically profile bacterial growth of clinical isolates and type strains in the presence of diverse compound libraries with main focus on computational data analysis and data integration. For this position, we request a solid background in microbiology/ bioinformatics/ systems biology and computational biology and candidates should have completed their PhD in one of these fields. Sound skills in statistics and knowledge of a scripting language are a must. Previous experience with high-throughput screening approaches is a plus.

　　In addition, the candidate should be/have

　　Experience in doing research in multidisciplinary environments

　　Self-driven, talented, proactive and independent

　　Innovative and enthusiastic towards new ideas, fascinated by the gut microbiome

　　Team oriented

　　Excellent oral and written communication skills in English

　　Tübingen University is particularly interested in applications from female candidates for this position and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. In line with its internationalization agenda, the university welcomes applications from researchers outside Germany. Disabled candidates will be given preference over other equally qualified applicants. For further information, please contact Dr. Lisa Maier, Tel.: +49 7071 29-80187, l.maier@uni-tuebingen.de
