About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow – Enteric Diseases Division at the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF), located in Silver Spring, Maryland, United States.

This postdoctoral opportunity is in the Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Branch of the Enteric Diseases Division within the Military Relevant Bacterial Diseases Department, headed by Dr. Frédéric Poly at the Navy Medicine Research and Development Command. The successful candidate will work with a collaborative team on pre-clinical research and development of immunoprophylactics for military-relevant enteric diseases.

Research focus: biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, protein purification, bacterial genome engineering, cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of enteric proteins, and development/evaluation of anti-diarrheal prophylactics and countermeasures against pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni and pathogenic E. coli.

Ideal background: a doctoral degree in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Chemistry, or Molecular Biology; experience in microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry; familiarity with enteric pathogens; and strong laboratory skills in recombinant/native protein expression and purification, UPLC, FPLC, immunoblotting, ELISAs, bacterial genetics, assay development, and technical troubleshooting.

Additional expectations: strong organization, data analysis, detailed record keeping, technical writing, teamwork, and communication skills. The role may involve preparing reports, presentations, conference materials, manuscripts, and grant applications, and may include supervising technical staff.

Funding and benefits: this is a full-time staff postdoctoral position with an annual salary range of $52,800–$72,000, plus benefits such as medical, dental, vision, health savings, and retirement plans.
