We invite you to join our center of excellence. If you hold a PhD in Bioinformatics, Data Science, Microbiology/Virology, and have a passion for research in metagenomics and meta-transcriptomics within a One Health framework, this is your opportunity! Be part of a pioneering team and contribute to groundbreaking global science. Apply by December 1, 2024, and start your innovative journey in 2025.
Stellenbosch University (SU) is deeply committed to advancing knowledge, research, and innovation to serve society. As a world-class learning and development institution, SU promotes globally relevant research while contributing to the upliftment and transformation of local communities. The Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI) at SU invites applications from ambitious post-doctoral scientists to undertake research in the field of metagenomics and meta-transcriptomics.
This fellowship will focus on studies drawing from different sample types (e.g. human, animal and environmental), to understand microbiomes within a One Health framework. The primary research of applicants should be focused on bioinformatic methods used in the analysis of metagenomic or meta-transcriptomic data. However, any relevant experience in field and wet laboratory work, will be viewed favourably.
