About the role

  • The faculty in MBM are united by a common interest in the biology of microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) and the effects of microbes on human and animal hosts.
  • The microbial pathogens program studies microorganisms that cause infectious diseases, with emphasis on rigorous analysis of these pathogens and the immune responses that restrict them.
  • Program investigators direct detailed studies of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and eukaryotic parasites.

Responsibilities

  • Design, organize, and carry out scientific research studies.
  • Develop projects and plans to implement new scientific methods.
  • Designs, organizes, and carries out computational and data science research in a highly quantitative, multidisciplinary research laboratory focused on tuberculosis and bacterial biology and combination therapy design.
  • Works with the PI to lead and review data analysis projects, including quantitative image analysis, computational modeling of bacterial cell biology, and analysis of drug combination datasets.
  • Develops and implements novel computational and statistical methods tailored to the lab's research questions.
  • Contributes original research published in peer-reviewed journals and works collaboratively with lab members to develop, edit, and submit manuscripts.
  • Participates in project design and written and visual communication of lab projects for presentations, papers, and grant applications.

Requirements

  • Knowledge and experience typically acquired by:
  • MS with 10 years experience
  • experience contributing to or leading grant applications to NIH, NSF, or other peer-reviewed funding agencies is highly desirable.
  • Experience mentoring and training undergraduate students, graduate students, and/or postdoctoral researchers in computational methods and scientific research practices
  • Opportunities also exist for candidates who wish to engage in wet lab and/or BSL-3 experimental work, though prior experimental experience is not required.
