About this position

Rutgers University is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate position in the Semenova Lab at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology. The project focuses on CRISPR-Cas13-mediated immunity, with research on collateral RNA cleavage, RNA substrate preferences, activation mechanisms, tRNA-linked defense pathways, spacer acquisition in RNA-targeting type VI CRISPR-Cas systems, and the evolutionary diversity of Cas13 effectors.

This is a strong fit for candidates interested in microbiology, genetics, molecular biology, RNA biology, phage biology, and microbial defense mechanisms. The postdoc will receive interdisciplinary training and will be expected to conduct independent research, analyze data, write manuscripts, mentor undergraduates, prepare fellowship proposals, and present findings at conferences.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must have a PhD in Microbiology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, or a related field by the start date. Required experience includes microbial genetics and cultivation, molecular cloning, protein expression and characterization, DNA/RNA purification and analysis, and protein-nucleic acid interactions. Experience with next-generation sequencing, library preparation, Illumina sequencing, data analysis, biochemistry, and structural analysis of RNA-processing enzymes is preferred.

Funding: the position is grant-funded and lists a salary of 63,968. Rutgers also notes standard employee benefits for eligible staff.

Location: Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Piscataway, New Jersey, United States.

How to apply: submit an application through the Rutgers jobs portal using the Apply for this Job link. Prepare a CV, cover letter, and references before applying.
