Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics

The Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation (CAMRI) within the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join our interdisciplinary team studying the gut microbiome’s role in immune tolerance development. Our lab integrates multi-omics microbiome analyses, microbial genetics, experimental models, and clinical cohorts to investigate mechanisms by which early-life gut microbial metabolism shapes host immunity.

The successful candidate will generate, analyze, and integrate multi-omics microbiome datasets, including shotgun metagenomics, 16S rRNA sequencing, single-cell transcriptomics, and proteomics/metabolomics. The overarching goal of the project is to investigate how early-life diet shapes the functional capacity of the gut microbiome and how these microbial functions are associated with the development of childhood allergic diseases. The candidate will develop machine learning–based biom...
