About this position

The One Health Informatics Group at the National Institute of Research and Innovation in Riga invites applications for a fully funded PhD project on animal gut microbiomes, metagenomics, and antimicrobial resistance. The successful candidate will join an international research team working at the intersection of microbiology, DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and microbial ecology.

This project focuses on microbial communities in livestock and agricultural systems, with a particular interest in how antimicrobial resistance develops and spreads. The PhD researcher will study animal gut microbiomes, investigate resistance genes and their distribution, and analyze sequencing and metagenomic datasets. The work combines laboratory research with computational analysis, offering hands-on experience in microbiome science and data-driven microbiological research.

The position is hosted by the One Health Informatics Group, which develops genomic and computational approaches to understand microbial ecosystems and antimicrobial resistance in relation to public health and environmental sustainability. The research environment includes advanced sequencing technologies, high-performance computing resources, and opportunities for scientific publications, conference presentations, workshops, and specialist training. The advertised project is part of the EchoHEALTH ERA Chair initiative.

Supervision and mentorship are described as central to the project, with recruitment committee members including senior researchers and academic staff at NIRI.
