Subject: postdoc position to work on microbiome and behavior at the Champalimaud, Lisbon

Dear colleagues,

I would appreciate if you could bring this job add to the attention of possible candidates and help me with disseminating this call. It would be extremely helpful if you could help me to reach out to your microbiology colleagues and departments.

My lab at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon is seeking to hire a microbiologist with a strong background in microbial genetics to study the effects of specific microbes on host behavior. We have established a paradigm in which specific gut bacteria species alter feeding decisions in the powerful genetic model organism Drosophila melanogaster. The selected candidate will coordinate a new interdisciplinary project funded by the Kavli and the Champalimaud Foundations to study the mechanisms. We aim at combining microbial genetics, metabolomics, cutting edge automated, quantitative behavioral assays, and circuit imaging approaches to identify the mechanism by which these microorganisms act on the brain to influence specific appetites of the host.

Candidates are encouraged to send applications (cover letter, CV, and contact information of 3 references) to Carlos.Ribeiro at neuro.fchampalimaud.org<mailto:Carlos.Ribeiro at neuro.fchampalimaud.org> . Openings are available immediately and applications will start being reviewed on the 12.2.2017 until the position has been filled.

Thank you very much.

Best,

Carlos Ribeiro
