Job Description:
A Postdoctoral Research Scholar position is available in Prof. Benjamin Callahan’s lab at North Carolina State University, with funding available for 24-36 months. The successful applicant will lead the development of new methods for the analysis of high-throughput microbiome data, help implement those tools as software packages accessible to the wider research community, and contribute to the analysis of larger collaborative studies. Independent projects related to the lab's broad interest in microbial communities are also welcome. Requirements: Applicants are expected to have obtained a PhD in a field related to either half of “quantitative biology” (eg. computer science, statistics, physics, …; ecology, genetics, evolutionary biology, …), to have strong computational and communication skills, and to be interested in collaborative research on complex microbial communities. Previous experience with R, Python, C or C++, and software development are all pluses. Position Details: The position begins on or after July 1, 2017, preferably before the end of the year. The salary range is from $45,000 to $60,000 depending on previous experience. Benefits and a travel budget are included.

The Callahan Lab (www.callahanlab.org) studies several aspects of complex microbial communities, including the associations between the human microbiome and adverse health outcomes such as preterm birth, the development of new statistical and bioinformatic methods to accurately characterize microbial communities from high-throughput data, and the role of adaptation in large structured populations. Location: NC State University, Duke and the University of North Carolina are within 30 miles of one other, and make up the three points of the Research Triangle, one of the most educated areas in the United States. Collaborative opportunities exist in virtually any research discipline, and the Research Triangle area is home to vibrant engineering and biotech industries, including in the microbiome field[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
