Postdoctoral fellow within microbiology

 

The Department of Paraclinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has a vacant three year Post Doctoral–position related to microbiology and antimicrobial resistance.

The position is part of the CORNELIA-project; Antimicrobial Resistance in One Health Interfaces. In CORNELIA we will study how the development and dissemination of AMR take place between bacteria that belong to humans, animals and the environment. Our research questions are based on the fact that wastewater, sludge and manure constitute a melting pot for interactions between such different bacteria. These interfaces are well suited for the selection and spread of new resistance determinants, which will be transferred to soil and water and potentially recycled into the food chains.

The consortium will develop a scientific basis and strategies for a potential national monitoring program for AMR in the environment, as a parallel to the existing surveillance programs in humans, animals, and food.

CORNELIA is funded by a research grant from the Research Council of Norway, and is a collaborative project between NMBU, University of Tromsø, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, Norwegian Institute for Water Research, Oslo University Hospital, VEAS wastewater plant, Sustaintech AS and Blueshift AS.

The position is available from September 1, 2021 and until the end of the project period on July 31, 2024.

 Main tasks

·         The postdoctoral fellow will mainly work with workpackages 1 and 4 of CORNELIA: 1) Occurrence of AMR in environmental interfaces, and 4) Address basic questions essential for development of surveillance systems.

·         She/he will, however, be a full member of the CORNELIA team, and will also contribute to other workpackages as these are quite integrated.

·         In WP1, the main tasks will be to design a joint sampling regime for CORNELIA, develop sampling protocols, analyze for resistant bacteria and extract DNA.

·         In WP4, the main tasks will be to describe existing initiatives regarding environmental surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and to suggest a framework for collection, handling, storage and analyses of samples from aquatic and soil interfaces. This work will be done in close collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.

Competence

The main purpose of the post-doctoral position is to qualify for work in high-level scientific positions.

Required Academic qualifications:

PhD in environmental, medical or veterinary microbiology

The following experiences and skills will be emphasized:

Experience in working with pathogenic bacteria

Good communicative and collaborative skills

Scientific writing

Motivation

Social skills

Ability to work both independently and in teams

You need to:

Have laboratory skills in microbiology

Master English written and orally.

Postdoc Positions in Machine Learning for Catalysis and Chemical Physics

 In this project, the successful candidate will contribute to the development of a computational framework based on active learning to guide the search for materials that catalyze the conversion of CO2 to methanol at low temperatures. In recent work, Mie Andersen’s group has developed machine learning models for the prediction of catalytically relevant parameters such as adsorption energies for a wide range of molecules and active site motifs at metal and oxide catalysts. The predictive models can, once trained, replace expensive first-principles calculations and provide direct input to thermodynamic or microkinetic models of catalytic activity and selectivity. The postdoc will be introduced to these methods and is expected to further develop them into an active learning framework that, among others, will include the use of uncertainty estimates to carry out global sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification of microkinetic models.

You can learn more about Mie Andersen’s research activities here.

Machine Learning for Chemical Physics
In this project, the successful candidate(s) will identify and develop machine learning techniques that may speed up first principles calculations of equilibrium structures and reaction pathways in chemical physics. In recent years, Bjørk Hammer’s group has developed a number of techniques for global optimization (see: https://gofee.au.dk). One method, GOFEE, does its structural search in a model potential using Gaussian Process Regression and is guided by Bayesian statistics to perform occasional sanity checks with full density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Another method, ASLA (see: https://asla.au.dk), does self-training of image recognition for neural network agents that interact with a DFT program. The postdoc(s) will be introduced to these methods and be expected to develop their own improvements and to apply these in the search for the reactive state of matter ranging from interstellar dust clouds to industrial heterogeneous catalysts.

You can learn more about Bjørk Hammer’s group here. 

Your Profile
Applicants must hold a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, nanoscience, computer science or equivalent. Previous experience with machine learning methods and/or first principles energy calculations in physical chemistry is required. Experience with programming in python is highly desired.

Place of work and area of Employment
The place of work is Ny Munkegade 120, 8000 Aarhus C and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.
