The successful candidate will join a research team involved in the application of metabolomics to study the metabolic mechanisms linking childhood malnutrition to adult non-communicable diseases in low and middle-income countries<em>. </em>This research spans several disciplines including the areas of biochemistry, nutrition, human development, global health, and bioinformatics. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><u>This project aims to characterise the metabolomic alterations induced by early life malnutrition and how these persist in later life and contribute to phenotypic outcomes, primarily non-communicable diseases. We will also investigate how the rate of recovery from early life malnutrition imprints on these profiles and relationships. </u>This project is in collaboration with research partners at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of the West Indies, University of Malawi, and Jimma University, Ethiopia. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Many factors such as lifestyle (<em>e.g.</em> smoking, physical activity) or dietary habits, from infancy to adulthood influence risk of cardiometabolic conditions and other non-communicable diseases (NCD). It is increasingly recognised that malnutrition (including stunting) in early life and/or post-malnutrition weight gain (PMWG) can also increase the likelihood of some of these factors. To understand the biochemical mechanisms involved in these processes, this project will apply NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry based metabolomic approaches to study early and later life biological samples from individuals that experienced a range of nutritional exposures. This includes individuals from Ethiopia, Jamaica, and Malawi. These biochemical signatures will then be studied to assess how nutritional status in childhood shapes the adult metabolic phenotype, and how such changes influence health and NCD risk. The post holder will be required to acquire, process, and analyse metabolomic data from these biological samples.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The role requires expertise in analytical chemistry, specifically NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and/or expertise in bioinformatics for interrogating complex metabolomic data. The successful candidate should have experience in omics-technologies, biochemistry, bioinformatics, or nutrition and global health.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">This full-time position is offered for a fixed-term for 10 months in the first instance. The post will be aligned to the Faculty of Medicine, School of Human Development and Health, based at Southampton General Hospital (University Hospital Southampton) campus and Highfield campus. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">For further information please contact Professor Jonathan Swann (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:j.swann@soton.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">j.swann@soton.ac.uk</a>)</p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Southampton, United Kingdom","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=2505623AF","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":"£34,980 Per annum","original_id":"UNI|356568","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/356568","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2023-11-24T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":"j.swann@soton.ac.uk","managerName":"UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Southampton, United Kingdom","log_hit":1,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2023-10-30T18:52:44.000Z","updatedAt":"2023-10-30T18:52:44.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":577,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"University of Southampton","name_en":"University of Southampton","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>The University of Southampton is a research-intensive university on the south coast of England.</p><p>Founded in 1862 as the Hartley Institution, the University of Southampton was granted a royal charter by Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 in one of her first official acts as monarch.</p><p> </p><p>Today the university has five campuses in Southampton, one in Winchester and another in Malaysia, and a student population of almost 25,000 students – a third of whom are international.</p><p>A founding member of the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities, Southampton is a comprehensive university offering a choice of more than 300 degree programmes across a wide range of subject areas.</p><p>The university is at the forefront of pioneering cancer immunotherapy research, and its engineering research is pushing the boundaries of performance sport with the help of large-scale facilities such as wind tunnels and towing tanks.</p><p> </p><p>Other centres of expertise include the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute, the Institute for Life Sciences, the innovative Optoelectronics Research Centre, the Zepler Institute – a multidisciplinary research centre for electronics, optics, nano and quantum technologies – and the Web Science Institute, pioneers of the worldwide web, open data and Internet of Things.</p><p>The University of Southampton actively helps student and staff start-up companies through its business incubators and Science Park.
