Overview
In this role you will help lead exposomics and environmental metabolomics activities at Imperial’s Leverhulme Centre for the Holobiont. You will develop MS-based workflows to broaden metabolome and exposome coverage and explore their roles in holobionts across the tree of life. You will work with a multidisciplinary team to integrate metabolomics with taxonomic, genetic and metagenomic data. This position offers access to top facilities, a hybrid work arrangement, and the chance to shape cutting-edge holobiont research.
