Key Responsibilities:

1. Microbiome Research & Analysis:

• Conduct in-depth analysis of microbiome datasets, including 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics.
• Develop pipelines and methodologies for microbiome profiling and functional analysis.
• Interpret microbiome data to identify actionable insights related to gut health, metabolic disorders, and disease associations.

1. Data Integration & Bioinformatics:

• Integrate microbiome data with multi-omics datasets (genomics, metabolomics, proteomics) to explore complex biological interactions.
• Utilize bioinformatics tools and AI-driven analytics to identify patterns and causal relationships in large datasets.
• Develop predictive models linking microbiome features to health outcomes or treatment responses.

1. Translational Applications:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design personalized interventions (probiotics, prebiotics, dietary plans) based on microbiome data.
• Contribute to the development of gut restoration programs and microbiome-based longevity strategies.
• Support clinical trial design and execution to validate microbiome-targeted interventions.

1. Collaboration & Communication:

• Work closely with researchers, clinicians, and product teams to translate microbiome insights into impactful solutions.
• Present findings to stakeholders, including scientific audiences and non-experts.
• Contribute to peer-reviewed publications, white papers, and technical reports.

1. Innovation & Development:

• Stay updated on the latest advancements in microbiome science and related fields.
• Explore and implement emerging technologies in microbiome analysis and therapeutics.
• Participate in patent development and intellectual property initiatives related to microbiome applications.
  

Qualifications and Skills:

Required:

• PhD or Master’s degree in Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Systems Biology, or a related field.
• Proven experience in microbiome research and analysis, including bioinformatics tools like QIIME, DADA2, Kraken, and MetaPhlAn.
• Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., Python, R) for data analysis and visualization.
• Strong understanding of gut microbiome-host interactions, microbial ecology, and their role in health and disease.
• Experience with statistical and machine learning approaches for biological data.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex findings to diverse audiences.

Preferred:

• Experience working with multi-omics datasets and integrating microbiome data with genomics, metabolomics, or transcriptomics.
• Knowledge of clinical trial processes and regulatory requirements for microbiome-related interventions.
• Familiarity with dietary science, probiotics, or gut-brain axis research.
• Publications in peer-reviewed journals in the field of microbiome science or related areas.
  

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects in microbiome science and personalized medicine.
• Collaborative work environment with leading experts in bioinformatics, healthcare, and nutrition.
• Access to state-of-the-art technology and a vast global dataset for research and innovation.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
