Job Description:
We seek an exceptional postdoctoral fellow to conduct independent research in the emerging fields of microbiome-virus-host interaction such as non-coding RNA and immunity, gut microbiome and vaccine efficacy, the genetics and regulation of complex immune genes. This researcher will drive the integrative analysis of the collected deep sequencing data and the development of computational methods. Opportunities exist to interact closely with a group of accomplished intramural and extramural collaborators.

Minimum Qualifications:

Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., M.D., D.V.M., Sc.D.) in appropriate field awarded no more than five (5) years from initial date of postdoctoral appointment. Ph.D. or equivalent (e.g., M.D., D.V.M., Sc.D.) in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, genomics, microbiology, immunology, or related areas Experience with statistical programming like R Experience with computational analysis and biological interpretation of RNA-seq and microbiome data is a strong plus Good understanding of general biology Critical problem solving Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

Additional Info:
The Peng Lab uses systems approaches to better understand pathogen-host-microbiome interactions and microbial pathogenesis. The goal is to uncover underlying molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and to identify targets of intervention as well as biomarkers for clinical applications. We focus on computational analysis of high-throughput omics data combined with experimental validation. The Lab is housed in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) Research Building located at the NC State Biomedical Centennial Campus, and is part of NC State Bioinformatics Research Center.
