We use systems approaches to better understand pathogen-host-microbiome interactions and microbial pathogenesis. The Lab is is part of NC State Bioinformatics Research Center and housed in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at the NC State Biomedical Centennial Campus.
We seek an exceptional Bioinformatics postdoctoral fellow or research scientist to conduct independent research in the emerging fields of microbiome-virus-host interaction such as non-coding RNA and immunity, gut microbiome and vaccine efficacy, the genetics and regulation of complex immune genes. This researcher will drive the integrative analysis of the collected deep sequencing data and the development of computational methods. Opportunities exist to interact closely with a group of accomplished intramural and extramural collaborators.
Ph.D. or equivalent (e.g., M.D., D.V.M., Sc.D.) in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, genomics, microbiology, immunology, or related areas
Experience with statistical programming like R
Experience with computational analysis and biological interpretation of RNA-seq and microbiome data
