Job Description
Are you fascinated by how the food we eat shapes our microbiome and metabolic health? Excited by the prospect of designing pre-clinical studies that will help generate the evidence to justify the firs
Key Highlights
- Contribute to the design and execution of murine feeding studies built around a matrix of pairwise comparisons (plant substrate vs. fermented food; fermented food vs. extracted biomass; biomass vs. extruded plant protein and meat)
- Measure a panel of host endpoints including protein digestibility, microbiome composition and function, gut barrier markers, lipid metabolism, glucose handling, and appetite-related hormones
- Coordinate protocol design and sample handoffs across BRIGHT, DTU Food, and the UCSF collaborators to ensure endpoints accumulate consistently
- Contribute to the interpretation of the pre-clinical data and to the design of the human clinical trials that follow
- have hands-on experience with rodent husbandry
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- have hands-on experience with rodent husbandry
- have familiarity with microbiome sequencing and analysis (16S and/or shotgun metagenomics)
- have exposure to metabolic phenotyping methods (indirect calorimetry, glucose tolerance testing, or similar)
- be able to work both independently and as part of a large collaborative team spanning multiple institutions
- be comfortable in an interdisciplinary environment spanning nutrition, microbiology, and translational science
- be patient, rigorous, curious, and pragmatic — key qualities for pre-clinical work that will shape downstream clinical decisions
