Postdoctoral Position in Microbiology

Department/Area

The Rowland Institute at Harvard invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Gozzi Lab. Our research focuses on bacterial-encoded domesticated viruses, known as gene transfer agents, which package random sections of the host genome for use in genetic exchange.

We aim to characterize gene transfer agent diversity, regulation, and species-specificity across the Tree of Life. Our lab uses a combination of microbiology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to study how microbes adapt to their environment and respond to stress.

Applicants should have a background in microbiology and molecular biology, with experience in bacterial husbandry, cloning, genetics, microscopy, and/or protein biochemistry. A strong publication record in microbiology/molecular biology is highly preferred.

Additional consideration will be given to applicants with a background in bioinformatics. The successful candidate will benefit from the interdisciplinary core facilities at the Rowland Institute at Harvard and will be encouraged to participate in the Harvard and Boston scientific community.

Harvard University postdocs are offered competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits packages.

Basic Qualifications

  • Background in microbiology and molecular biology
  • Experience with bacterial husbandry, cloning, genetics, microscopy, and/or protein biochemistry
  • Strong publication record in microbiology/molecular biology

Additional Considerations
