The Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation (CAMRI) within the Institute of Genome Sciences (IGS) is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow, to join the laboratory of Jacques Ravel studying the vaginal microbiome’s role in women’s health.
Our lab integrates multi-omics microbiome analyses, experimental models, observational cohorts, and clinical trials to uncover the mechanisms by which the vaginal microbiome influences host susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections and likelihood to experience preterm birth, among other adverse health outcomes.
We welcome applicants with backgrounds in bioinformatics, molecular microbiology, and/or microbial ecology/evolution to apply.
Qualifications
Key areas:
·Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing analysis
·Single-cell RNA-seq and proteomic/metabolomic data integration
·Integration of clinical and multi-omic microbiome data.
·Biologically informed data interpretation
·Experience with Python, R and command line
Ideal candidate: A computational biologist or bioinformatician with strong programming skills and a firm background in microbiology.
Candidate should have experience leading projects, writing manuscripts, and contributing to grants.
What We Offer
·Access to clinical samples from well-characterized cohorts and clinical trials
·Collaborative environment across CAMRI and IGS
·Mentorship in academic career development
·Cutting-edge tools in multi-omics and host-microbe systems biology
