Dear QIIME2 users, I am starting my lab at the Pennsylvania State University in July and have multiple postdoctoral positions available to work on a NIAID-funded project investigating the interface of diet, pathogens, and the gut microbiome. We will be a hybrid wet/dry lab using human specimens, anaerobic microbiology, synthetic communities, gnotobiotic mice, and a variety of ‘omics approaches to dissect the human gut microbiome. The ideal candidates will have a Ph.D., MD, or equivalent, with relevant training in at least one field related to microbiology, immunology, microbial ecology, biochemistry, and/or bioinformatics. Expertise in anaerobic microbiology and/or experience with R, Python, or Bash is preferred but not necessary. Applicants should have a demonstrated track record of productivity, be highly self-motivated, and be enthusiastic to work both individually and as part of a collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Applications must be submitted electronically [here](https://psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Academic/job/University-Park-Campus/Scholar-Postdoctoral_REQ_0000014394-1) and include a CV, contact information for 2-3 references (including your Ph.D. advisor if possible), and a cover letter detailing your relevant experience, research interests, and how you will contribute to building an inclusive lab culture. Please [email me](mailto:Jordan.Bisanz@psu.edu) if you have any questions or to discuss the positions in greater detail. Sincerely, Jordan
