Position Description:

We are seeking for a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher interested in joining the laboratory of

Metabolism and Obesity, led by Dr. Josep A. Villena, to work in the fields of obesity, diabetes and immunity. By using a

will lead a research project aimed at unraveling the mechanisms by which obese individuals exhibit some degree of

immunosuppression and susceptibility to pathogenic infections. This project runs within the framework of the OBESIMM

study, an international project coordinated by Dr. Josep A. Villena, recently funded by the Joint Programming Initiative

HDHL. The OBESIMM project includes other research groups from Spain, France and United Kingdom, offering the

possibility to work in a rich, multidisciplinary, international environment.

Main responsibilities and duties:
-
Lead a research project aimed at identifying the mechanisms by which calorie restriction and time-restricted

feeding improves metabolic health.

Preparation of manuscripts and presentation of results to national and international scientific meetings.
Participate in the joint meetings and collaborate with other partners of the OBESIMM international research

consortium.
