Most of the candidate’s time will be spent doing their research topic inside the global collaborative framework created by the ERC HorsePower project. Horse genome analysis will be the primary method used to document breeding techniques, historical variations, and geographical specifics, as well as to determine the origin, parentage, and favoured phenotypes of the species.

Deadline: 27 June 2024

The effort expands on their earlier research indicating that variations in the community structures of the gut microbiome may impact energy extraction.

By integrating conventional faecal measures, bomb calorimetry, and cutting-edge omics technologies with a human dietary intervention trial, the GutEnergy project will examine whether variations in gut microbiome community architectures impact the excretion of food calories in faeces.

Deadline: 04 August 2024

Beyond the well-known JAK-STAT signaling pathways, the candidate will study cytokine signaling pathways in macrophages. Disease states are influenced by the way macrophage phenotypes are shaped by cytokines. It is unknown how cytokine-specific responses might arise because numerous cytokines with opposite roles use very similar JAK-STAT signalling pathways.

Deadline: 30 May 2024
