About this position

Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, United States, is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Molecular and Human Genetics.

The postdoctoral researcher will investigate mechanisms regulating RNA transcription fidelity in vivo in Escherichia coli and determine how transcriptional errors affect bacterial physiology and phenotypic variability. The project includes designing bacterial genetic systems, characterizing RNA polymerase errors, and identifying genetic factors that influence transcription accuracy.

Responsibilities include molecular biology experiments, bacterial strain construction, genetic manipulation, RNA extraction, Illumina NextSeq RNA sequencing, circular sequencing (Circle-seq), sample and library preparation, and analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets. The researcher will quantify RNA error frequencies, identify transcription-error hotspots, interpret biological findings, develop follow-up hypotheses, maintain laboratory records, contribute to peer-reviewed publications, and present results at laboratory meetings, seminars, and conferences.

Applicants must hold an MD or Ph.D. in basic science, health science, or a related field. No prior experience is required. A Ph.D. in genetics, genomics, or a related discipline, expertise in RNA fidelity, Illumina NextSeq experience, and familiarity with Circle-seq are preferred.

The position is onsite in Houston, Texas, with a Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. schedule and a stated salary of $63,480. Apply through the Baylor College of Medicine employment portal using requisition ID 26561.
