Part B. CV SUMMARY (max. 3500 characters, including spaces)

Dr. Christie-Oleza in a molecular environmental microbiologist by training. He moved from the University of Warwick to the University of the Balearic Islands in 2019 as a Ramon y Cajal – an extremely competitive tenure track fellowship programme to attract talent in Spain. He has been an Independent Group Leader since 2013. In 2015 the University of Warwick offered him a position as an Assistant Professor based on his outstanding scientific trajectory; university where he still holds a position as a visiting professor. Throughout his career Dr. Christie-Oleza has been externally funded through competitively won fellowships (Areces Foundation Fellowship, IEF Marie Curie Research Fellowship, NERC Independent Research Fellowship and, now, a Ramon y Cajal) demonstrating his ability to put forward original research ideas and manage his own research projects, generating high impact outputs. He has two main research lines:

1) Ecology and biodegradation of plastic; research line with which he integrated in his current lab at the University of the Balearic Islands (Spain).

2) Marine microbial interactions – nutrient cycling and microbial ecology; an independent research line Dr. Christie-Oleza will consolidate with this project ‘Consolidación Investigadora’.

From his 47 peer reviewed publications, he is first / last author in 30 of them and corresponding author in 22, altogether proving his implication and leadership in his current research outputs. The relevance of Dr. Christie-Oleza’s research can be broadly assessed both by: i) the prestige of the journals’ where he has published (41 of his publications are in journals in the first quartile of their discipline and 23 in the first decile, e.g. Nature Microbiol., Nature Commun., PNAS, ISME, Microbiome, Curr. Biol., Mol. Cell. Proteomics, Environ. Sci. Technol., J Hazard. Mater., Water Res.); and, most importantly following DORA, ii) the rate at which his publications get cited (from Google Scholar: >3,400 citations, >2,800 since 2018; h-index of 26). For example, Erni-Cassola et al 2017 (published in Environ. Sci. Technol.) has been cited >670 times, or Erni-Cassola et al 2019 (published in J. Hazard. Mater.) cited >550 times. Hence, Dr. Christie-Oleza is providing useful outputs to the scientific community.

During his three main international career moves (i.e. France-UK-Spain), he has developed a wide network of interdisciplinary and international collaborations across Europe (e.g. with Dr. Helliwell, publishing in Curr. Biol., 2021; or Dr. Lidbury, publishing in PNAS, 2022), South America (e.g. with Dr Echeveste, publishing in J. Hazard. Mater., 2022), as well as his recent collaboration with Dr. Yang from China (e.g. publication in Water Res., 2022).  

Dr. Christie-Oleza takes great care in the mentoring of his team members and dedicates a considerable amount of time to help early career scientists achieve their very best in a friendly and welcoming environment. Routinely, his PhD students win prizes at symposiums and best thesis awards, as well as publish in high impact journals, altogether, helping them move on to successful research positions. Out of the 10 PhD students he has already supervised to completion, eight have continued into postdoc positions in internationally renowned laboratories, one moved to work in the ERC Commission in Brussels, and two as research scientists in international firms. He has also supervised three postdoctoral researchers and two senior research technicians as well as numerous BSc, MSc and visiting scientists in his lab.

Despite his early career stage, Dr. Christie-Oleza has held numerous Institutional responsibilities, e.g. being Research Theme leader of Environmental Biosciences and Deputy Director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Warwick, or one of NERC’s 50th Anniversary Ambassador (2015; involving dissemination and outreach activities). Since 2020, Dr. Christie-Oleza is an Associate Editor for the journal Microbiome (impact factor 15.5) and Environmental Microbiome (IF 7.9), and is currently a guest editor of Environmental Microbiology’s special issue ‘Microbes of the plastisphere’ (IF 5.1). He routinely carries out reviewing and assessment activities (e.g. pool of experts for the Spanish National Research Agency, AEI; regular reviewer for scientific journals such as Nature Commun., Nature Microbiol., Microbiome, ISME, Env. Sci. & Technol., Env. Microbiol, amongst others; or internationally invited for PhD and MRes examining panels). All together, these achievements demonstrate that Dr. Christie-Oleza has a consolidated career and is an internationally renowned researcher.

Dr. Christie-Oleza also dedicates time in disseminating his research through numerous press releases that have been picked up by local and international press, as well as doing outreach activities in schools (e.g. AMGEN TransferCiència program).
