Position Description
Applicants are now being considered for a postdoctoral position in the Gozzi Lab at the Rowland Institute at Harvard (https://www.rowland.harvard.edu/). Our lab’s primary focus is on bacterial-encoded domesticated viruses, known as gene transfer agents, that package random sections of the host genome for use in genetic exchange. These virus-like entities are non-infectious and cannot replicate themselves, but are able to transduce random sections of the genome within a population. We aim to characterize gene transfer agent diversity, regulation and species-specificity across the Tree of Life. For further information on the lab, please visit: www.gozzilab.org
More broadly, bacteria constantly face a life-and-death struggle against lethal stresses in their microscopic world. We study h...
