Post-doc position : Urban Engineering, Environmental Public Health Engineering Laboratory(Prof.Katayama's lab)

Safe water supply and sanitation is adopted as Sustainable Development Goal 6, which play an important role in prevention of waterborne diseases. Water safety is obviously important in developing countries, but in developed countries, where the water supply system is already installed, it is also a challenging issue.
To address the water safety associated with the health-related microorganism in the urban water system, i.e. water supply, sewerage, and water environment, the research focus of Environmental Public Health Engineering Laboratory are:
i) to elucidate the fate of the health-related microorganisms, i.e. pathogenic virus, in urban water system, and
ii) to achieve the microbiological safety of urban water systems by means of environmental engineering.

【Job description】
Environmental Public Health Engineering Laboratory is looking for a post-doc researcher who will be involved in either one of the following studies.

1) Measurement and control of viruses in water.
Those who have experience of cell culture and molecular analysis and interest in viruses in water is welcomed.

2) Genome analysis
Those who have experience on metagenomic analysis and interest in research on exploring novel indicator microorganisms on viruses in water are welcomed.
