The CoE is based at leading Finnish universities, University of Helsinki (UH) and University of Turku (UTU). The core faculty of the CoE consists of five research groups working in the fields of Infectious diseases, Microbiology, Sociology, Evolutionary biology and Bioinformatics.\n\n\nThe University of Helsinki (UH) is an international scientific community of 40,000 students and researchers. It is one of the leading multidisciplinary research universities in Europe and ranks among the top 100 international universities in the world. We are an equal opportunity employer and offer an attractive and diverse workplace in an inspiring environment with a variety of development opportunities and benefits. <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.helsinki.fi/en\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.helsinki.fi/en</a>\n\n\nThe University of Turku (UTU) is a world-class multidisciplinary research university of 20,000 students which offers interesting challenges and a unique vantage point to national and international research and education. <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.utu.fi/en\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.utu.fi/en</a>\n\n\nThe participating PIs are:\nTeppo Hiltunen (UTU), Experimental Evolution Research Group, Department of Biology <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.expevo.org\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.expevo.org</a>\nAnu Kantele (UH), Infectious Diseases, Faculty of Medicine\n<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/anu-kantele\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/anu-kantele</a>\nVille Mustonen (UH), Bioinformatics and Evolution Research Group <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/bioinformatics-and-evolution\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/bioinformatics-and-evolution</a>\nSalla Sariola (UH), Faculty of Social Sciences <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.socialmicrobes.org/\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.socialmicrobes.org/</a>\nMarko Virta (UH), Molecular Environmental Biosciences Research Group, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/molecular-environmental-biosciences/research/antibiotic-resistance-in-human-impacted-environments\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/molecular-environmental-biosc...</a>\n\n\nThe Multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence in Antimicrobial Resistance Research will take a comprehensive approach to understanding determinants of antimicrobial resistance across scales from a “One Health” perspective that incorporates humans, animals and the environment. The researchers from different scientific disciplines will work in close collaboration in order to achieve the interdisciplinary scientific goals and targets of the CoE.\n\n\nWe invite applications in order to recruit up to ten POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS who will work together with us to realise the scientific mission of the CoE. Overall, the suitable scientific backgrounds and fields include but are not limited to Infectious diseases, Experimental evolution, Microbiology, Sociology, Evolutionary biology and Bioinformatics. Together we will do field, social, laboratory as well as computational integrative science to understand AMR. If you are motivated to work in a multidisciplinary environment and can contribute to the research mission of the unit, do not hesitate to apply even if your background is not directly in the listed areas. Fluency in English and excellent writing skills are essential.\n\n\nThe successful candidates will become part of a multidisciplinary team. The actual research will depend on their background. When applying, please indicate in the application cover letter a research theme that is of your primary interest.\n\n\nTheme 1 Infectious Diseases, Microbiology and data science (up to 4 positions)\n\n\nThe infectious diseases and microbiology theme consists of infectious diseases, clinical microbiology and environmental microbiology. Our work is based on clinical work with participants and their samples, sampling of different environments, bacterial isolation and culturing together with genetic, metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and bioinformatic analyses.\n\n\nWe now seek postdoctoral AMR researchers with experience in AMR work in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology laboratory. We also seek postdoctoral researchers in environmental microbiology with experience in molecular laboratory work. In both areas the basic knowledge of bioinformatics and data analysis are important. The work will mainly take place in Finland but may include field work in our study sites in Asia and Africa. Therefore, experience in field work and language skills (particularly French) are advantageous but not obligatory. Clinical positions are based at Anu Kantele’s group in the Faculty of Medicine and environmental positions at Marko Virta’s group at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry but work will include a close collaboration between the groups of the entire CoE.\n\n\nTheme 2 Sociology (up to 2 positions)\n\n\nThe sociology research group based at the University of Helsinki, Department of Social Sciences in Sociology and under the Centre for the Social study of Microbes led by Salla Sariola, will investigate the role of human activities in the development and spread of resistance.\n\n\nVarious sociological enquiries in connection with the microbiological data collection will be conducted in order to investigate the contribution of ‘the social’ in generating selection pressures as well as identifying practises that potentially contribute to the spread of and colonisation by AMR. The enquiry will be conducted in three tasks at three levels: Task 1. Global development indicators that may predict AMR spread. Task 2. Community level (village, neighbourhood etc) surveys. Task 3. Ethnography of practises at village and neighbourhood level.\n\n\nWe seek candidates with skills in quantitative and/or qualitative methods. The quantitative tasks will require expertise and experience in conducting surveys, managing registry data and quantitative analysis in low-income country settings. Training in sociology, development studies, geography, medical sociology, social epidemiology, political science or equivalent would be eligible. The qualitative tasks will require expertise and experience in the use of ethnographic methods (e.g. interviews, participant observation and focus groups) in low-income settings. An ideal candidate should have worked on antimicrobial resistance in the past, or in adjacent fields such as human or animal health and environment. French language is an asset. Background in medical anthropology, development studies, sociology, science and technology studies or other relevant fields would be eligible.\n\n\nTheme 3 Experimental evolution and data science (up to 4 positions)\n\n\nIn this theme we will use experimental model systems (e.g. synthetic bacterial communities) combined with various data analysis methods (e.g. evolutionary theory based inference, machine learning) to study how AMR develops in the community context and the related eco-evolutionary dynamics of community resilience against stressors. This theme is at the interface of microbial evolution, eco-evolutionary theory and data science.\n\n\nWe aim to recruit postdoctoral researchers with a background either A) in microbiology, experimental evolution or community ecology (experience in working with bacterial model systems is beneficial). Or B) in a highly quantitative field e.g. PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or similar (experience in working with big biological data sets is beneficial). All candidates are required to have a burning interest in evolution. Experimental positions are based at the group of Teppo Hiltunen (University of Turku) and the data science positions at the group of Ville Mustonen (University of Helsinki) with a highly collaborative atmosphere between the groups, working on shared projects.\n\n\nREQUIREMENTS\n\n\nThe appointee to the position of postdoctoral researcher shall hold a doctoral degree and have the ability to conduct independent scholarly work as well as the teaching skills necessary for the position. The main duties will include research, dissemination of results including talks and writing articles, student supervision and teaching (about 5% of the annual working time). You will have the opportunity to develop your own professional skills and apply for further own funding.\n\n\nThe salary for the postdoctoral position is based on level 5 of the job requirement scheme for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee shall be paid a salary component based on personal work performance. The annual gross salary range varies between 3200–4400 €/month, depending on the qualifications and experience of the candidate.\n\n\nPositions are for a fixed-term period with the duration between two and three years. Starting is flexible but should be as soon as possible, preferably in Spring 2022. A six month trial period will be applied for the positions.\n\n\nInformation about the universities as employers, please see:\nUniversity of Helsinki: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers</a>\n10 reasons to work in Helsinki: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers/why-helsinki\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers/why-helsinki</a>\n\n\nUniversity of Turku: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.utu.fi/en/university/come-work-with-us\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.utu.fi/en/university/come-work-with-us</a>\nCity of Turku: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://kissmyturku.com\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://kissmyturku.com</a>\n\n\nFinnish way of life: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers/why-finland\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers/why-finland</a>\n\n\nApplication must have the following enclosures as a single pdf-file in English:\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>A motivation letter including how your expertise fits and could contribute to the specified research area or areas (max 2 pages),</li>\n<li>A curriculum vitae (max. 2 pages),</li>\n<li>A list of publications</li>\n<li>Two recommendation letters.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\nPlease submit your application, together with the required attachments, through the University of Helsinki Recruitment System via the Apply for the position link.
