About this position
This postdoctoral position at Texas A&M AgriLife Research is based in the Institute for Advancing Health through Agriculture-Project Management in College Station, Texas. The role sits at the intersection of metabolic disease, novel food systems, genome regulation, and biomarker discovery, with a strong focus on nutrition-sensitive chronic diseases.
The successful candidate will help design and execute animal feeding studies using polyphenol-enriched plant systems and will analyze serum samples from animals fed polyphenol-rich diets using biochemical, molecular, phytochemical, multi-omics, and proteomics approaches. The research is aimed at understanding how diet, obesity, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions influence the development and progression of chronic metabolic disease across the life course.
The position offers the chance to contribute to collaborative research initiatives with USDA-ARS scientists and members of the Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture. In addition to conducting experiments and analyzing data, the postdoctoral researcher will help develop novel hypotheses and experimental approaches, support peer-reviewed publication writing, prepare presentations and technical progress reports, and may mentor student researchers and graduate students.
This is a research-intensive role within Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a large agriculture and life sciences organization within the Texas A&M University System, with work connected to collaborative teams and a broader mission to improve health through agriculture.
