美国佛吉尼亚大学生物信息学博士后职位

Gut microbes play important roles in human health and disease. Central to gut microbial community dynamics is how nutrients flow between community members as well as between the community and its host. The laboratory of Dr. Martin Wu at the Department of Biology University of Virginia is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on a project to map and predict metabolic fluxes between gut microbiome and host. Activities will include RNA-Seq, whole genome shotgun metagenomics and 16S RNA sequencing library preparations and next-generation sequencing data analyses. This is a collaborative project funded by NIH. More information about the project can be found at https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R01-GM108501-02.

Applicants will have a Ph.D. in the field of biology, computational biology, or related field by the start date. Molecular biology skills are highly desirable. Applicants should have substantial experience with scripting (e.g. Perl or Python), Linux and bioinformatics tools. Experience with next-generation sequencing data analysis is also required. This is a one-year appointment; however, appointment may be renewed for an additional two one-year increments, contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance.
