About this position

The One Health Informatics Group at the National Institute of Research and Innovation (NIRI) in Riga invites applications for a PhD project focused on environmental metagenomics and antimicrobial resistance surveillance. The successful candidate will study microbial communities in wastewater and other environmental ecosystems, using DNA sequencing, metagenomic analysis and environmental data to better understand how antimicrobial resistance is distributed and may spread through the environment.

This research sits within the EchoHEALTH ERA Chair project and the broader One Health Informatics Group, which applies genomic and computational approaches to microbial ecosystems, antimicrobial resistance, and their relevance to human, animal and environmental health. The project offers training in metagenomics, microbiome science, bioinformatics and laboratory techniques, together with access to sequencing technologies and high-performance computing resources.

The student will work in an interdisciplinary research environment with opportunities for international collaboration, scientific publication, conference participation and professional development while completing a PhD thesis.
