NC State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, United States, 27601
Position Information
The Callahan Lab at NC State University ( https://callahanlab.cvm.ncsu.edu/team/ ) is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study the transfer of DNA between bacteria (horizontal gene transfer; HGT) by viruses (also known as “transduction”). The successful candidate will lead the computational and quantitative analysis of novel datasets that combine metagenomics and metaproteomics to investigate transduction in real microbial communities.
Duties and Responsibilities
The postdoctoral scholar will lead the data analysis component of a multi-institutional project funded by NIH - NIAID to investigate horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in host-associated microbial communities mediated by viruses (transduction).
This will include the analysis of combined metagenomics/metaproteomics data from new experiments, the evaluation of current methods used in that analysis, and the conception and implementation of new computational methods for improving the analysis of metagenomic/metaproteomic data.
Participation in monthly project meetings with collaborators, presentation of research at conferences and preparation of manuscripts.
