Job Type: Full-Time
Posting Detail Information
Position Summary
This position is immediately available in the lab of Dr. Yolanda Huang (Department of Microbiology & Immunology). The lab's research focuses on discovering new functions encoded among gut anaerobic bacteria and bacteriophages using high-throughput functional genomics. We also study bacteria-phage interactions and how phages alter bacterial physiology and microbial composition dynamics. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the gut microbiota at the molecular level. Research projects leverage cutting-edge techniques, including DNA barcoding, short and long read sequencing technologies, and high-throughput functional genomics.
Responsibilities will include:
● Conducting routine experiments following established protocols
● Timely recording of experimental details and results
● Performing data interpretations and communicating findings with the PI
● Contributing to publications through experimental/computational work and writing
● Participating and contributing to group meetings
● Assisting other lab members when/where expertise is needed
● Performing weekly lab maintenance duties including purchasing, stocking supplies
● Completing administrative tasks
The ideal candidate will also participate in the design and execution of wet lab experiments and/or computational analyses and is expected to contribute to publications. This may include bacterial genetics, molecular cloning, bacteria and phage cultivations (aerobic and anaerobic), protein purifications, bioinformatics, and various -omic techniques. The lab is committed to the success of all members and provides close mentorship and opportunities for research and career development.
The ideal candidate will have recently obtained their BSc or MSc in microbiology, bioengineering, bioinformatics, or a related field. Experiences in any of the following areas would be an asset: bacteria and/or phage isolation and cultivation, microbial genetics, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, assay development, analytical chemistry (HPLC, MS), sequencing, and bioinformatics.
