For quite a while, I have had the undiluted pleasure of working with Prof Mark van der Giezen, who is currently based at the University of Stavanger.
Mark is a PI on a large grant from the Norwegian Research Council, and I will be co-supervising one of the projects, which is the following:
"PhD Fellowship in Intestinal Microbiome Analysis and Parasites as Health and Disease Biomarkers"
There will, of course, be special emphasis on Blastocystis, but we will also be looking at other common intestinal parasites, and the relationship between these and core host gut microbiota signatures.
Particularly those with experience and training in epidemiology and/or bioinformatics can now apply for this PhD position. You can read much more about the aim of the study and key qualifications here.
Most of the work will be carried out at the institute where I work, the Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen.
Have a great weekend ahead!
