The Centre for Evolutionary Hologenomics is looking for a motivated molecular biologist for a period of 2 years, as part of the HoloFood EU Research Innovation Action project GA No 817729) awarded to Prof Tom Gilbert and colleagues, to explore the effect of host-microbiota interactions on salmon and chicken production and welfare parameters. This project is based around an international consortium of Universities and Private Industry, that is characterising host and gut microbial communities using a combined (meta)genomics and (meta)transcriptomics approach, so as to decipher the interactions between the two. The ultimate aim is to understand how host-microbiota interactions affect animal production and help tailor the industrial production of both systems through feed manipulation. More information on the project can be found at www.holofood.eu.
Our research
The Centre for Evolutionary Hologenomics was recently funded by the Danish Basic Research Foundation to develop and implement state-of-the-art ‘omics and associated computational techniques, to address through experimental and theoretical research, four key themes underscoring life on earth. Specifically, these are: What is the relationship between a host’s genome and the functional and taxonomic makeup of its associated microbial metagenome? Does this relationship explain ongoing ecological and evolutionary processes in the host? Could this relationship provide an alternate explanation to some of life’s big transitions? And, how have we humans exploited this relationship? The Centre is embedded within the GLOBE Institute, that is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. The Institute’s main purpose is to address basic scientific questions through interdisciplinary approaches. The institute operates at the intersection of natural sciences, medical sciences and the humanities.
Your Job
In order to minimise laboratory-driven variation in the data generation, all multi-omic analyses for the HoloFood project are being undertaken at our central laboratory in Copenhagen. We seek a skilled molecular biologist to coordinate the wet laboratory data generation for HoloFood, optimise laboratory protocols as needed during the project’s lifetime, and throughout the project undertake the training of the molecular biology consortium members from other partners who will be undertaking the data generation in our laboratories.
