About this position
Postdoctoral Researcher – Computational Nutrition and Metabolic Modelling
The University of Galway is seeking a full-time, fixed-term Postdoctoral Researcher within the Digital Metabolic Twin Centre in the School of Medicine, Galway, Ireland. The appointment is available from 16 March 2027 to 15 March 2028, with the possibility of extension.
The Digital Metabolic Twin Centre brings together an international, multidisciplinary research team working on precision medicine through computational modelling. The successful researcher will contribute to the development of digital metabolic twins based on individual-level data, supporting personalised health insights and improved health decision-making.
The research uses constraint-based modelling to investigate human metabolism and the gut microbiome, with emphasis on interactions among nutrition, genetics, microbial communities, and human health. Applications include inherited, gastrointestinal, and neurodegenerative diseases. The work also supports the design of healthier dairy products through Vistamilk, an SFI-funded centre focused on sustainable growth, food security, and prosperity in the Irish dairy and agri-tech sector.
