Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that chronically colonizes the stomach of almost half the world’s population and that can cause ulcers and gastric cancer. H. pylori’s resistance to antibiotics is rapidly increasing and more knowledge is needed in terms of virulence and colonization mechanisms and the bacterial interaction with the gastric mucosa. The group of Kaisa Thorell is studying H. pylori and host-microbe interaction focusing on bioinformatic analysis of bacterial omics data. We study large datasets of for example whole genome sequences of bacteria from different parts of the world and with different level of disease association and also work with characterization of bacterial isolates and their interaction with human cells using RNA-seq, proteomics, glycomics, and other large scale data analyses. Dr Thorell was recently appointed as a fellow within the Swedish Data Driven Life Science (DDLS) program and the project will be performed within the DDLS framework.

The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is a 12-year initiative that focuses on data- driven research, within fields essential for improving the people ́s lives, detecting and treating diseases, protecting biodiversity and creating sustainability. The programme will train the next generation of life scientists and create a strong computational and data science base. The program aims to strengthen national collaborations between universities, bridge the research communities of life sciences and data sciences, and create partnerships with industry, healthcare and other national and international actors.

Dr. Phan’s research interest has been focused on the development and application of multimodal imaging using mass spectrometry imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy to cells and neurobiology, particularly the study of the structural effects of psychostimulant drugs on the brain chemistry, the molecular turnover of nerve cells and the brains in relation to neurogenesis and neurodegeneration. Her current interest is the correlation of secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS, ToF-SIMS), super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (STED), and electron microscopy to study the structural and functional relationship between cellular lipids and proteins at subcellular and molecular levels. She is also working to develop labeling probes for specific targeted bioimaging using these combined modalities.

The subject of the PhD position is development of a multiple correlative nanoscale imaging allowing the correlation of organization and turnover of proteins and molecular lipids, localization of protein complexes and organelles, and cellular morphology at the subcellular level. The method is then applied to study the molecular and organelle turnover in neuronal stem cells during the cell differentiation. The goals are to obtain multiple properties of the same cell sample with a subcellular precision across different imaging techniques, and to understand the molecular regulation during neuronal stem cell differentiation and proliferation.

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university's doctoral student pages.

https://medarbetarportalen.gu.se/doktorand/?languageId=100001&skipSSOCheck=true

Duties 

The PhD student will take courses to fulfill the requirement of the PhD programme, and work on research projects to combine STED super-resolution microscopy, mass spectrometry imaging (nanoSIMS, ToF-SIMS), and electron microscopy to study the molecular and organelle turnover in neural stem cells at a subcellular level. This will be correlated with neuronal activity of the neuronal cells in collaboration with a parallel project within the group. The correlative imaging method will be applied to determine the molecular organization and turnover in neuronal stem cells during the cell differentiation into a specific neuronal cell type.

The student will be trained in imaging technologies (STED, ToF-SIMS, NanoSIMS, electron microscopy) and cell culture to perform the projects. The student will perform pulse and chase method using isotopic precursors of proteins, lipids on progenitor cells and differentiated neuronal cells to track the dynamic changes in the molecular synthesis, replacement and degradation at the organelle level. Sample preparation will be optimized to preserve chemical and morphological structures of the cells, as well as to ensure the samples compatible to all imaging modalities. Correlation procedure of multimodal imaging will also be optimized. The student will then use statistical methods to analyze, interprete data and present results.

The student will also involve in the development and application of new labeling probes for multimodal imaging of stem cells in collaboration with other colleagues.

The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), offers a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher to support the research activities of research line 3 on Terrestrial Ecosystems, and specifically work on the Pasture Adaptation project – a 3-year research project coordinated by University of Georgia with consortium partners in the USA (Appalachian State University, University of Kentucky, University of Georgia ), Norway (NIBIO), France (CNRS) and Switzerland (ETHZ), and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in the context of the “Belmont Forum/JPI Cultural Heritage/JPI climate Collaborative Research Action (CRA) Climate & Cultural Heritage (CCH) 2023” call.

About the project:

“Pasture Adaptation: Mitigation and Adaptation in Cultural Heritage Landscapes: Lessons from Transhumant Pastoral Systems for Managing Novel Climate Risks.” At BC3, this project is led by Ikerbasque researcher Pablo Manzano. It examines, through novel environmental, social and economic sustainability indicators, the cultural landscapes of transhumant pastoralism in France, Norway, and Spain, to understand how this intangible cultural heritage (a) is threatened by climate change and other sociopolitical influences, (b) provides broader lessons regarding ecological knowledge and social organization for adaptive production systems, and (c) can be sustained through community action and policy.

This research treats cultural landscapes as socioecological systems, linking scholarly fields that are often separate. Additionally, the project includes deeply integrated modelling of climate – including mitigation and adaptation, ecosystems, social systems, and policy in the service of community-facing adaptation workshops. Finally, we focus on conserving intangible heritage, especially cultural landscapes of agricultural importance.

Job description:

The selected candidate will contribute to implement the Spanish component of the project. Required to work together with the project IP (an ecologist with ample experience in transdisciplinary research), a scientist with environmental science and socioecosystems background will identify climate adaptation and mitigation elements among the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Spanish transhumant pastoralists.

• Conduct broad reviews of agro/ecological literature to determine the cascading effects of downscaled climate models
• Conduct social science interviews with farmers, policy-makers, and other key informants, following a protocol developed by the team
• Conduct archival research on farmers’ historical adaptations to environmental stressors
• Analyze and process qualitative and quantitative data following protocols developed by the team
• Help translate climatological and socioecological data into descriptive models or future scenarios for pastoral systems
• Develop sustainability indicators related to the economic, sociocultural, and ecological components of Spanish pastoral systems
• Assist PI in the coordination of works with the rest of the international team
• Share and publish findings with the academic community

Main requirements/skills:

• PhD in in natural and environmental sciences or related disciplines and desired experience on some of these aspects: socio-ecology, pastoralist systems, sustainability indicators.
• Fluency in Spanish language
• Proficiency in English language
• Familiarity with ecological, environmental and climate change concepts
• Experience working with or developing ecological or socioecological models
• Familiarity, or interest in learning, qualitative research methods
• Ability to teamwork

Benefits and work environment:

• Interdisciplinary and inspiring work environment
• Quiet and spacious workspaces
• Possibility of participating in internal training and academic activities of the centre
• 35-hour week work calendar
• 30 days of vacation per year

Term of contract
