Baylor College of Medicine has an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position with a focus on identifying immune, inflammatory, metabolic, and epigenetic drivers of post-infectious morbidity and mortality. The study will evaluate 300 pneumonia patient participants to identify which inflammatory, immune, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and metabolic marks are associated with post-pneumonia morbidity and mortality. Single cell technology will be implemented to identify drivers of post-infectious inflammation. Excellent applicants will need a wet lab experience in immunology, flow cytometry, and cellular metabolism, and should have a strong foundation in bioinformatic analysis. (Examples of previous work includes PMID 35169026, 35256539, 32125282).
The position is intended for life science graduates from Immunology or Microbiology backgrounds, however, a graduate with background in Computer Science or Computational Biology will also be considered. The successful candidate will receive training in analyses of single-cell and bulk-tissue multi-omics data and be expected to participate in multiple projects involving design, implementation and integration of large-scale datasets and data processing pipelines
