Sivas University of Science and Technology

Sivas University of Science and Technology, in central Turkey, was founded in 2018. Five years later, it was granted the title of “University specialising in optics.”
The modern university sits in an ancient city: former residents include the Hittites, the Assyrians, the Persians and the Romans. It is home to the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divriği, a Unesco World Heritage site, as well as the largest surviving Hittite temples in the world.
The university’s degree courses are taught by three faculties – the faculty of engineering and natural sciences; the faculty of aeronautics and astronautics; and the faculty of agricultural sciences and technologies – which run alongside the Sivas vocational school.
Sivas offers dormitory space to every student who requests it. State dormitories offer social and cultural activities, alongside accommodation. Alternative accommodation in privately owned dormitories or student apartments is also available.

	Perform shotgun metagenomics and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on microbial samples from various environments (clinical, environmental, tumor-associated microbiomes).
	Develop and implement bioinformatics pipelines for resistome, mobilome, and virulome profiling using tools such as MEGARes, CARD, VFDB, and PlasmidFinder.
	Investigate horizontal gene transfer (HGT) dynamics and plasmid-mediated dissemination of ARGs across microbial communities.
	Conduct phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses to uncover the evolution of multidrug resistance in pathogenic bacteria.
	Analyze co-occurrence networks between resistance genes, virulence factors, and mobile elements in microbiome datasets.
	Collaborate with clinical partners and microbiome researchers to integrate multi-omics data for comprehensive resistome analysis.
	Publish high-quality research articles and present findings at international conferences.
	Contribute to grant writing and development of new research proposals.


Required Qualifications:


	PhD in Microbial Genomics, Bioinformatics, Molecular Microbiology, Infectious Disease Biology, or a related field.
	Proven experience with high-throughput sequencing technologies (Illumina, Nanopore) and metagenomic analyses.
	Strong background in bioinformatics tools for microbiome analysis (QIIME2, Kraken2, MetaPhlAn) and AMR gene identification (MEGARes, CARD, ResFinder).
	Proficiency in Python, R, or Perl, with experience in Linux/Unix environments.
	Solid understanding of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, horizontal gene transfer, and mobile genetic elements.
	Evidence of scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.
	Excellent communication and teamwork skills.


Preferred Qualifications:


	Experience in clinical microbiome research, oncology microbiomes, or environmental resistome surveillance.
	Familiarity with spatial metagenomics, single-cell microbiome analysis, or multi-omics data integration.
	Knowledge of machine learning approaches for resistome prediction or biomarker discovery is a plus.


Why Join Us?


	Access to cutting-edge technologies (mass spectrometry, next-gen sequencing, high-performance computing).
	Work on high-impact research addressing one of the urgent challenges in global health—antimicrobial resistance.
	Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of microbiologists, bioinformaticians, clinicians, and data scientists.
	Opportunity to lead high-profile publications and contribute to international consortia.
	Career development support, including grant writing, conference funding, and training opportunities.


Application Process:

Applicants should submit the following in a single PDF file:


	A Cover Letter explaining their interest and fit for the position
	A detailed Curriculum Vitae (CV)
