Further required is experience with facilities coordination, laboratory environments, technical equipment, project management, or similar coordination assignments. Since the work involves many contacts both internally and externally, you need to be able to communicate clearly in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing. Responsibility and Limitations The coordinator/superintendent shall coordinate, follow up, and prepare documentation, but shall not make decisions about other operations' equipment. The position does not include handling personnel matters related to the relocation.

PhD Student in Medical Science - Oral Microbiome and Microbial Ecology
You who are admitted to doctoral education at the Faculty of Medicine will be part of the faculty-wide doctoral education program. The program comprises 25 credits and is offered at two study rates: 25 credits over 8 terms (total 4 years) or over 12 terms (total 6 years), with program start each autumn and spring term. More information about the program can be found on the faculty's website for doctoral education (Doctoral Education) National Research School for Biomedical Analysts Umeå University participates in the research school Biomedical Analyst for eXcellence (BioLabX), a national research school that is a collaboration between seven Swedish universities with Uppsala University as the main responsible institution. You can read more about the research school in the announcement on our website Vacancies at Umeå University https://www.umu.se/jobba-hos-oss/lediga-jobb/ Project Description The oral microbiome constitutes a complex and dynamic microbial ecosystem that plays a central role in oral and systemic health. The composition and function of microorganisms are affected by both the surrounding environment and the host's biological conditions. Genetic factors in humans can explain a significant portion of the variation in the presence of certain oral microorganisms. Despite this, the biological mechanisms behind these associations remain largely unknown. New comprehensive genetic association studies have identified specific genetic loci in humans that are linked to variation in the oral microbiome. These findings create new opportunities to move from statistical associations to an understanding of the functional mechanisms that connect host genetics to microbial ecology. The project "Oral microbiome – host genetics and microbial ecology" focuses on how genetically determined variations in, for example, saliva composition, glycan presentation, and host tissues affect microorganisms' adhesion, biofilm formation, and function. The goal is to identify and characterize the mechanisms through which the host shapes the oral microbial ecosystem. The project combines experimental and bioinformatic approaches and the work will include, among other things: genetic and molecular biological analyses, Nanopore-based sequencing, analysis and integration of microbiome data and clinical data, experimental studies of microbial adhesion and biofilm formation, analysis of carbohydrates and proteins relevant to host-microbe interactions, protein profiling of extracellular/outer membrane vesicles.
