Postdoctoral Positions in Microbiome, Immunology, and Bioinformatics

Job Description

The Translational Microbiome & Immune Tolerance Laboratory at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation (CAMRI) within the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) is recruiting multiple postdoctoral fellows to join our interdisciplinary team studying the gut microbiome's role in immune tolerance development. Our lab integrates multi-omics microbiome analyses, microbial genetics, experimental models, and clinical cohorts to investigate mechanisms by which early-life gut microbial metabolism shapes host immunity.

We welcome applicants with backgrounds in computational biology, molecular microbiology, and / or basic immunology to apply for the following positions :

Qualifications

• Computational Biology & Data Integration

Using multi-omics microbiome analysis, single-cell transcriptomics, and machine learning-based biomarker prediction models, this project will investigate the effect of early-life diet on the gut microbiome's functional capacity and its association with the onset of childhood allergies

Shotgun metagenomics, and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis

This study will investigate the effects of gut microbial protein metabolism on immune tolerance development in food allergies.

T cell immunology
