A panel may be formed from which future similar vacancies may be filled; such a panel will remain active for a maximum period of 12 months. Basic Function of the Role: The successful applicant will contribute to the development and application of bioinformatic tools to analyse microbial communities within foods and the food chain providing the technological, computational and analytical tools to (i) support partner organisations, (ii) establish standardized tools and procedures for companies operating throughout the food chain, (iii) meta-analyse the produced data, and (iv) build user- and company-friendly resources to support all the microbial tasks associated with the food chain. The project will focus on all tasks related to microbiome profiling starting from sample collection (including culturing), and will consider four distinct types of tools: 16S rRNA gene profiling, shotgun metagenomics, microarray-based microbiome screening, and real time monitoring through sequencing.

Background to the Role: The Teagasc post-doctoral programme provides training and development opportunities for early career scientists that enhances their experience of learning and equips them with the necessary skills for the next stage of their chosen career in research. MASTER is a new EU H2020-funded Innovation Action, starting in January 2019 and co-ordinated by Teagasc. MASTER will take a global approach to the development of concrete microbiome products, foods/feeds, services or processes with high commercial potential, which will benefit society through improving the quantity, quality and safety of food, across multiple food chains, to include marine, plant, soil, rumen, meat, brewing, vegetable waste, and fermented foods. This will be achieved through mining microbiome data relating to the food chain, developing big data management tools to identify inter-relations between microbiomes across food chains, and generating applications which promote sustainability, circularity and contribute to waste management and climate change mitigation.
