About this position

Baylor University’s Department of Biology is recruiting 2–3 funded PhD students for a Fall 2027 start. The research focuses on microbiomes and the ways microbial communities influence health, organisms, and environments.

The group uses long-read metagenomics, microbial genomics, and bioinformatics to study diverse biological systems. Projects may address the relationship between microbiomes and childhood undernutrition, fish mucosal microbial ecology, and microbial communities in the built environment.

This opportunity is suited to students interested in cutting-edge sequencing, computational analysis of microbial genomes, microbiology, and microbial ecology. The work connects advanced genomic technologies with questions about how microbes affect human health and environmental systems, within the research environment of Baylor University’s Department of Biology.

Funding details

The post announces 2–3 funded PhD positions but does not specify the stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other funding details.
