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. Other Work/Responsibilities:
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. Preferred Experience, Skills, Training/Education : N/A Required License or Certification: N/A Special Instructions: Please include cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references. The cover letter should describe relevant research interests.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]

Opportunities exist to interact closely with a group of accomplished intramural and extramural collaborators. Other Work/Responsibilities:
- Drive computational analysis, integration, and biological interpretation of large scale microbiome and host transcriptome deep sequencing datasets
- Develop computational strategies to derive features in microbiome and host transcriptome associated with phenotypic variables
- Design follow-up experiments and analyses collaboratively
- Publish research findings and present them at conferences as first-author
- Assist with grant writing
- 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
