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:

  • Conduct research on the gut microbiome’s role in immune tolerance development.
  • Utilize multi-omics microbiome analysis and machine learning for data integration.
  • Investigate the effect of early-life diet on gut microbiome functional capacity.
  • Study the effects of gut microbial protein metabolism on immune tolerance development.
  • Collaborate with clinical cohorts and integrate clinical and multi-omic data.
  • PhD in computational biology, molecular microbiology, immunology, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python/R.
  • Experience with shotgun metagenomics and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis.
  • Familiarity with single-cell RNA-seq and proteomic/metabolomic data integration.
  • Knowledge of T cell immunology and immune cell phenotyping.
  • Experience with machine learning and AI applications in microbiome data.
  • Experience with clinical metadata harmonization across cohorts.
  • Familiarity with flow cytometry panel development.
  • Experience with mouse models of inflammation.
  • 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.
