1 week ago
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated veterinary microbiologist for a 2-year postdoc position starting around 1st December 2024, with the potential for a contract extension. The new postdoc is expected to contribute to the scientific and teaching activities of the research group One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (OHAR) within the section of Veterinary Clinical Microbiology. Additionally, the postdoc will be responsible for defined activities within the second EU Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections (JAMRAI2). These activities focus on surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, and strengthening antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control in veterinary medicine, livestock production, and environmental settings using a One Health approach. The goal is to develop evidence-based training programs and enhance capacity-building to facilitate the adoption of best practices for antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control among professionals in these sectors.
Our research
The postdoc will be part of the OHAR research group led by Prof. Luca Guardabassi. Our research is characterized by two focus areas:
- Development of diagnostic tests and methods to reduce and rationalize antimicrobial use in animals.
- Optimization of veterinary antimicrobial use to minimize selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Your job
You are a highly qualified veterinary microbiologist with the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team. You will be required to be physically present in the laboratory to contribute to ongoing research projects and oversee experiments conducted by PhD, MSc, and BSc students. Additionally, you are expected to deliver lectures for the Infection Microbiology and Veterinary Paraclinics courses within the veterinary study curriculum and to apply for funding for research within the two focus areas of the OHAR group. As part of the EU project of JAMRAI2, you will attend online and in-person meetings for WP6 (Antimicrobial Stewardship), WP7 (Infection Prevention and Control), and WP8 (surveillance of antimicrobial resistance) and will be responsible for coordinating and implementing the activities planned in these work packages.
Profile
We are seeking a highly qualified scientist with an exceptional track record of independent research in veterinary bacteriology and proven experience in supervising and teaching PhD and veterinary students.
Essential experience and skills:
- A MSc degree in Veterinary Medicine
- A PhD in Microbiology, Biology, or a related field
- Previous postdoctoral experience
- Outstanding publication record in relation to career stage
- Excellent scientific writing and oral communication skills
- Experience in supervising PhD, MSc and BSc students
- Knowledge of basic concepts in antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control
Desirable experience and skills:
- Research experience in antimicrobial resistance
- Experience in metagenomics
- Research experience in veterinary mycology
- Experience in veterinary clinical practice
