You will have a unique opportunity to work on data from two internationally renowned cohorts: firstly, TwinsUK; and secondly, the COVID Symptom Study Biobank, based on the COVID-19 ZOE app. Studies of microbiome in COVID-19 will particularly focus on long-COVID, an emerging problem world-wide for survivors of COVID-19, and will include analysis of pre-pandemic data, as well as data collected in November 2020. The opportunity to contribute to the study of COVID-19 and, potentially, to vaccine responses, through investigation of these unique and large datasets is both unprecedented and of huge international importance, given both the pandemic and development of effective vaccination. There will also be opportunities to engage in other microbiome projects using these deeply phenotyped cohorts, as well as with other projects involving genomics research and age related diseases.Applicants are expected to be able to direct research independently and have a good breadth of knowledge of mcrobiome and immunological research methodologies and background.
