PhD fellowship in Molecular Diagnostics of Foodborne Pathogens (Due: 28 February 2010)

The fellowship will be part of a larger, international research project (BIOTRACER, see www.biotracer. org), focusing on improved biotraceability of unintended micro-organisms and their substances in food and feed chains. The aim of the PhD project is
to develop and validate culture-independent and DNA-based methods for detection, enumeration, and characterization of foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter.

Methods that will be used include real-time quantitative PCR and DNA microarrays, together with standard culture based techniques. These methods will then be used to study different aspects of food and feed safety, for example the attachment of
Salmonella to meat surfaces and survival over time in feed samples. The project will be performed in close collaboration with national and international partners involved in the BIOTRACER project.
