About this position
This postdoctoral project is based at the Autonomous University of Madrid and focuses on the evaluation of a new nutraceutical as a therapeutic option for the prevention and treatment of fatty liver disease, specifically MASLD and MASH associated with metabolic dysfunction.
The successful researcher will contribute to the project’s experimental work on cell culture and the processing of patient samples, supporting subsequent genetic and metagenomic analyses. The work includes molecular and laboratory-based tasks linked to Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing (NGS), making this a translational postdoctoral role bridging nutrition, molecular biology, and human sample analysis.
The position sits within the university’s teaching and research environment in Madrid and is framed as part of a specific research project rather than a broader programme. The advertised work combines nutritional science with biological and molecular techniques, with an emphasis on studying patient-derived material and generating data relevant to disease prevention and treatment.
The contract is for a fixed term and is described as a postdoctoral research appointment in biological sciences related to the nutrition field.
