Postdoctoral Associate

The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine

Job Description

Summary

Title: Postdoctoral Position

Institution: Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine

Location: Farmington, CT

PI: Julia Oh, Ph.D. Associate Professor

Contact: ohlab.jax@gmail.com

Send: Cover letter and CV with three references

The Oh lab is seeking motivated computational and/or experimental scientists interested in studying the human microbiome and its impact on health. We seek to use diverse approaches in genomics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, molecular biology, and microbiology. Our goals are to understand the complexity of our body’s microbial communities and use this information to manipulate the microbiome for therapeutic ends.

Said postdoctoral fellow can fit into any one of the major endeavors of the lab:

-Developing computational methods for analysis of large-scale metagenomic data, in particular, uncharacterized space.

-Developing CRISPR/Cas-based tools leveraging synthetic biology for microbiome engineering

-Microbiome and microbial metabolomic modeling computationally, experimentally, and with mice

-Organoid/germ-free mouse examination of host-microbiome interactions

Required Skills:

Candidates should have a PhD and/or MD with an exceptional record of research accomplishments and the enthusiasm to conduct research in a highly collaborative and inter-disciplinary environment. Our lab has had a strong track record of placing postdocs into competitive positions.
