The Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena is a federal and state government-funded research institute and member of the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft). FLI’ s internationally visible and highly competitive research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and associated age-related diseases. Scientists from over 40 countries are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging and the occurrence of age-related diseases. Our aim is to create the basis for new approaches in medicine as a way to improve the health of the elderly (www.leibniz-fli.de).
The research group “Host-Microbiome Metabolism” led by Dr. Clara Correia-Melo is looking for an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Scientist for a start as soon as possible
in Metabolomics as part of an HFSP Research Grant
The Postdoctoral research project is integrated in a Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP) collaborative grant aiming to systematically evaluate the chemical nature and source of bioactive modified nucleotides (modN), their cross-species effects, as well as a comprehensive understanding of respective modifying-detoxifying enzymes. This research project will be performed in close collaboration with the other envolved groups at ETH-Zurich (Beitrao Lab) and UCL-London (Fugger Lab), which will perform work enabling the prediction and evolutionary characterization of nucleotide modifying enzymes, as well as characterize the physiological impact of bioactive modN repectively. Integrated in the HFSP Reserach Grant Program, the postdoc will also have the opportunity to be part of the HFSP wider network of innovative science.
