Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)

The research group of Anne Salonen at Human Microbiome Research Program at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki, Finland, invites applications for a fixed-term position of Postdoctoral Researcher in bioinformatics of the human gut microbiome from 15.1.2025 until 31.8.2028 or according to agreement.

The vacancy is part of European Innovation Council (EIC) funded project Precision nutrition approach for increasing fibre intake and health using gut microbiota-matched sustainable fibre sources (fibrematch.eu), aiming to match dietary fibre types to prevalent functional gut microbiome subtypes to increase fibre consumption without digestive symptoms.  Our research group works on the human intestinal and female reproductive track microbiomes with an overall aim to provide understanding on how these microbiomes contribute to health and disease. We work on high-throughput omics data sets and also work with reductionist approaches on targeted microbes using genomic and phenotyping tools.

Responsibilities and qualifications

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher who is interested in metagenome data analysis and diet-microbiome interactions. The work focuses on identifying functional microbiome types relevant for metabolism of dietary fibre.

The work will involve:


	Assessing statistical approaches for classifying gut microbiomes based on functionality
	Integration of diet, microbiome, gastrointestinal symptom and other host data
	Communicating the results in scientific publications and conference presentations
	Co-supervision of PhD and MSc students on integrative NGS data analysis (desired, not an absolute requirement)  
	Additionally, the candidate is expected to coordinate omics data management in the group and contribute to new research ideas and (co)-applying for grants. Depending on interests and expertise, some teaching on microbiome and/or nutrition or bioinformatics will be available.


The candidate we seek:


	Has a PhD degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, microbiology, nutrition or other relevant areas (in exceptional cases if other requirements are fulfilled, a candidate with an MSc degree may be considered)
	Has demonstrated expertise in omics data analyses and statistical modelling, preferably in human cohort and/or intervention datasets
	Has proficiency in R and Unix/Linux and knowledge on perl, python or other programming language
	Experience in cloud or HPC computing
	Has solid track record and strong scientific drive
	Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a diverse team environment
	Has strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build scientific relationships
	Has good communication skills and proficiency in verbal and written English
	Previous experience on microbiome research, microbial metabolic modelling and/or nutrition is optimal but not required


The chosen applicant is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki.

We provide


	Opportunities for personal development in an enthusiastic, supportive and international team that has strong track record in human microbiome research
	Possibility to produce high quality publications within the FIBRE-MATCH project and optionally also on other research of the group e.g., on the prospective Health and Early Life Microbiota birth cohort data. We encourage candidates to develop their own projects and explore new research directions that can, if desired, support their transition to an independent career.
	National and international networking as part of a multidisciplinary EU-funded project


Terms of employment

The candidate is expected to start as early as possible and the period of employment lasts until 31.8.2028. Trial period of six months will be applied. The monthly gross starting salary will be appr. 3500-4000 € per month depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience.
