PhD position summary/title: PhD position in the Department of Biology
Department of Chemistry at Utrecht University and the Institute of Marine Research (IMR, Bergen, Norway), is looking for an enthusiastic scholar wanting to do a PhD on the AES-financed project “Induced sterility in farmed salmon – a sustainable approach to improve welfare and performance” (project leader Jan Bogerd). Your primary task will be to carry out research in the context of this project to solve salmon aquaculture issues associated with genetic introgression and precocious male puberty to further enhance salmon aquaculture sustainability and efficiency. In this project, you will develop approaches based on nanobody-drug conjugates to render salmon sterile. In addition, you are expected to carry out some work as a teaching assistant within the department.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Immunopharmacology
We offer a PhD position for a curiosity driven candidate in this Longfonds/TKI-LSH funded project. The research builds on our previous findings that dietary non-digestible oligosaccharides suppress airway inflammation and enhance corticosteroid efficacy. In this PhD project we will address not only how a combination of specific fermentable fiber and beneficial bacteria can prevent and/or treat allergic asthma, but also if this can inhibit corticosteroid resistance via modifications of the microbiome and epigenome.
