Job Description:
Rutgers the State University of New Jersey is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate for the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology to assist with the Program of Human Microbiome in Nutrition and Health. Under the direction of Principal Investigator, Dr. Liping Zhao, the Postdoctoral Associate will use computational and mathematical modeling to elucidate the role of gut microbiome in human health and diseases. We strongly encourage recent PhD graduates to apply. General Summary: 1. Develops molecular and genomic tools for understanding and predictive manipulation of the complex microbial communities in human and animal gut. 2. Use bioinformatics and systems biology to understand the interactions between diet and gut microbiota in the onset and progression of chronic diseases. 3.Formulate interventions that integrate traditional medicines and medicinal foods into habitual diet to modulate the relationship between gut microbiota and humans to achieve optimal health.
