Job Description:
We are pleased to announce a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in metagenomics/bioinformatics in the laboratory of Dr. A.M.V. Brown (see http://www.amvbrown.com) in the Department of Biological Sciences ( http://www.depts.ttu.edu/biology) at Texas Tech University, to begin in Fall 2017. Dr. Brown's lab investigates how host-associated bacteria and other microbes interact to limit or facilitate species invasions, disease outbreaks, or biomass production. We use a wide range of approaches including shotgun metagenomics and metatransciptomics, functional comparative genomics, and advanced bioinformatics. Systems include agricultural and medically related microbial communities. We seek applicants who have completed, or will soon complete a PhD in any of these areas: symbiosis/host-microbe metagenomics, next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics, microbial genetics and ecology/evolution, or related fields. We especially encourage applicants with specialized skills and training in more than one -omics approach or with bioinformatics software development (programming) ability. To contribute to the scholarly excellence in Dr. Brown's lab, applicants should be self-motivated, insightful and ambitious in setting research goals, have excellent time management and organizational skills, demonstrated ability to complete projects and communicate science effectively, and be committed to enhancing the positive and diverse collaborative research community at Texas Tech. Dr. Brown's lab will provide the successful applicant with a competitive salary and benefits for up to two years in accordance with national and university policy for postdocs, as well as cutting-edge training in important areas of biological research. Applicants will be mentored in career skills such as grant and fellowship application, and will be encouraged to seek additional funding support as part of their training. Texas Tech is a large university, growing in research strength and status, located in a sunny region with cool winters and plenty of outdoor and cultural activities, close to important centers for agriculture, medicine, and genomics. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, without discrimination on the basis of an applicant's race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information or status as a protected veteran.
