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 multiple postdoctoral fellows 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. We welcome applicants with backgrounds in computational biology, molecular microbiology, and/or basic immunology to apply for the following positions:

  • Investigate the effect of early-life diet on the gut microbiome’s functional capacity and its association with the onset of childhood allergies using multi-omics microbiome analysis, single-cell transcriptomics, and machine learning–based biomarker prediction models.
  • Study the effects of gut microbial protein metabolism on immune tolerance development in food allergies.
  • Strong programming skills in Python/R and experience with cloud computing.
  • Background in computational biology, molecular microbiology, or basic immunology.
  • Experience with shotgun metagenomics, 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, single-cell RNA-seq, and proteomic/metabolomic data integration.
  • Knowledge of T cell immunology, PBMCs-gut microbial metabolite co-cultures, and flow cytometry panel development.
  • Experience with machine learning and AI applications in microbiome data.
  • Familiarity with clinical metadata harmonization across cohorts.
  • Experience in cytokine assays, Treg/Th cell profiling, and mucosal immunity.
  • Experience with mouse models of inflammation and immunopeptidomes.
  • Access to clinical samples from well-characterized pediatric cohorts.
  • Collaborative environment across CAMRI and IGS.
  • Access to Maryland Genomics Resources and Trainings.
  • Cutting-edge tools in multi-omics and host-microbe interactions.
