About us:

Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) plays a crucial role in shaping the future of carbon management in Europe. Their mission to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and beyond, with a focus on carbon capture, removal, use, and storage (CCUS) technologies, is vital for the global fight against climate change.

Here’s a summary of the key points:

  1. Advisor to the EU: ZEP serves as a critical advisor to the European Union on industrial carbon management. This means they play a key role in guiding EU policy and strategies for achieving carbon neutrality.
  2. Mission: The goal is to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture, removal, use, and storage technologies to not only reach climate neutrality by 2050 but also to help achieve net negative emissions after that. This is crucial for combating climate change and limiting global warming.
  3. Broad Member Base: ZEP draws expertise and input from a diverse group of stakeholders, including energy companies, industrial companies, and those involved in infrastructure and equipment. This diversity helps ensure their solutions are well-rounded and practical.
  4. Technical Work & Policy Advice: ZEP’s efforts include comprehensive technical work and policy recommendations that inform both technological development and regulatory frameworks.

Policy Assistant role would involve a lot of valuable exposure to high-level policy discussions, especially around carbon capture and industrial carbon management. Organizing meetings for committees and working groups would be a key responsibility, requiring strong organizational skills and an understanding of the issues at hand.

In addition to this, supporting the Policy Manager would likely provide an opportunity to contribute to shaping EU policies that could have a significant impact on climate and energy strategies.

This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to explore the intersection of nutrition, immunity, and microbiology. By investigating how polyphenols, a class of bioactive dietary compounds, interact with the gut microbiota, this research seeks to shed light on their potential role in modulating mucosal immune function.

The project will focus on understanding the mechanisms through which polyphenols are metabolized by gut bacteria to produce bioactive metabolites that may have beneficial effects on the immune system. Using state-of-the-art tools like molecular microbiology, transcriptomics, and gene editing, the student will investigate the metabolic pathways involved in polyphenol degradation. The research will extend into practical applications by assessing whether a synbiotic approach—combining polyphenols and specific bacteria—can enhance mucosal immunity in models of bacterial and parasitic infections.

As part of an interdisciplinary collaboration, the PhD student will work alongside the Phage and Quorum Sensing group, under the guidance of Associate Professor Nina Molin Høyland-Kroghsbo. The project will also offer international exposure through a stay at the University of California, Davis, allowing the student to gain further insights into cutting-edge research in this field.

Beyond research, the student will have opportunities to contribute to teaching, which will enrich their academic experience.

This project is a unique opportunity for anyone passionate about molecular immunology, microbiome research, and the potential of dietary components in promoting health. Full training will be provided to equip the student with the necessary skills to succeed in this multi-faceted research environment.
