Postdoctoral Associate in Microbiome and Lung Disease Research

Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences seeks a Postdoctoral Associate for the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) to conduct mentored research on the microbiome’s role in lung disease and the relationships among HIV, aging, and pulmonary health. The position involves designing studies, performing laboratory experiments or computational analyses, interpreting findings, and disseminating results. Projects will investigate microbial communities, host immune responses, and chronic inflammation in relation to lung function and disease progression. The role includes working with human samples, cell lines, and animal experiments, as well as analyzing metagenomic, transcriptomic, and metatranscriptomic data. The Postdoctoral Associate will collaborate with multidisciplinary colleagues, prepare manuscripts, and contribute to grant applications while developing an independent research direction.
