About this position
Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Molecular Virology and Microbiology to conduct original research on vaccine development for drug-resistant pathogens.
The research addresses the growing impact of antimicrobial resistance and the need for new vaccine targets against bacterial infections, including Escherichia coli, a major cause of infections worldwide. Multiple projects are available, with research overlapping an established phage biology program and center.
The postdoctoral researcher will develop new experimental paradigms and design controlled experiments, analyze molecular data using computational tools, and contribute to sequence analysis and protein antigen design. The role also includes engaging with current literature, discussing findings in group meetings, writing scientific manuscripts and grants, presenting research results, and attending conferences.
The position is based onsite in Houston, Texas, within a biomedical research environment spanning molecular virology, microbiology, vaccine science, antimicrobial resistance, and phage biology.
