Our Institution is building a new Center focused on the microbiome, its involvement in human health, and its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.

We are seeking a highly qualified new or experienced investigator who is an expert in microbial 16S, metagenomics and transcriptome analyses to establish a new Core in our Center. The applicant should have hands on experience in the field of microbiome-related research, and be familiar with state of the art methods of analysis. The successful candidate will have expertise in high-throughput sequencing technologies and analysis of metagenomic data sets and a respected publication record in the field. Working knowledge and experience in deep sequencing, marker gene, and the assembly of whole genomes is essential. Importantly, the candidate must have the ability to stay abreast with cutting-edge technology and software, and demonstrate good oral and written English communication, proficiencies that are central to providing customer service and technical oversight.

The director will work collaboratively with institute researchers interested in areas related to microbiology, including microbe-microbe interactions, microbe-host interactions, microbial enzymology and biochemistry, bacteriophage therapy and gnotobiotics. The core director is expected to meet with basic, translational and clinical investigators to help with experimental design, as well as providing full service bioinformatics and data processing that is uniquely tailored to each project. Highly promising early career investigators with microbiome-related research interests are encouraged to apply. Alternatively, established investigators that have an established research program in one of these fields and the ability to direct and instruct team members to carry out core functions will also be favorably considered.

Faculty appointments at appropriate rank (Staff Scientist, Assistant, Associate, or Full Staff) will be based on applicant credentials. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative environment with outstanding opportunities for interactions with basic and translational investigators, as well as with clinicians from multiple specialties.
