Job Description
The Translational Microbiome & Immune Tolerance Laboratory at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation (CAMRI) within the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join our interdisciplinary team studying the gut microbiome’s role in immune tolerance development. Our lab integrates multi-omics microbiome analyses, microbial genetics, experimental models, and clinical cohorts to investigate mechanisms by which early-life gut microbial metabolism shapes host immunity. The successful candidate will generate, analyze, and integrate multi-omics microbiome datasets, including shotgun metagenomics, 16S rRNA sequencing, single-cell transcriptomics, and proteomics/metabolomics. The overarching goal of the project is to investigate how early-life diet shapes the functional capacity of the gut microbiome and how these microbial functions are associated with the development of childhood allergic diseases....
