Postdoctoral Positions in Microbiome Therapeutics, Sensory Neurobiology, and Mucosal Immunology at University of California, Los Angeles

The UCLA Goodman-Luskin Microbiome Center is launching a major, institute-supported initiative and is seeking multiple postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D.-level research scientists to join their team. The program focuses on industry-style research related to microbiome therapeutics, with a strong emphasis on translational science and commercialization. Candidates with backgrounds in sensory neurobiology and mucosal immunology are especially encouraged to apply, as these areas are central to the research efforts. The initiative is highly collaborative, involving ten labs, and aims to turn biological discoveries into real-world impact. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in a mission-driven environment with eligibility for a fellowship distinction that provides additional support, community, and career development resources. The program is ideal for those motivated by team science and the translation of biology into therapeutic applications. The Goodman-Luskin Microbiome Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, is recognized for its leadership in microbiome research and offers a vibrant, interdisciplinary setting for postdoctoral training. Applicants should have experience in sensory neurobiology and mucosal immunology. The positions are open until filled, and interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Elaine Hsiao directly via email. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers seeking to advance their careers in microbiome science, translational research, and collaborative biomedical innovation.
