About this position
Texas A&M AgriLife Research is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Molecular Biology in the Department of Animal Science in College Station, Texas. The role focuses on molecular biology and microbiology research involving bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, microbial communities, livestock, wildlife, environmental samples, food production systems, and multispecies biofilms.
The postdoctoral researcher will design and conduct experiments, develop and validate quantitative PCR and other molecular detection assays, apply culture and molecular methods, plan amplicon, metagenomic, and whole-genome sequencing studies, and interpret sequencing results with laboratory sequencing and bioinformatics staff. Responsibilities also include statistical analysis in R or Python, manuscript and technical-report writing, contributions to grant proposals, detailed data management, laboratory instrumentation, collaboration with universities and federal laboratories, conference presentations, and mentoring students and research staff.
A PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, animal science, veterinary science, or a closely related discipline is required, together with peer-reviewed research, nucleic-acid extraction, PCR, and sequencing experience. Preferred skills include qPCR or digital PCR assay validation, nanopore sequencing, command-line bioinformatics, biofilm or bacterial culture models, biosafety level 2 work, funding proposals, and mentoring. Salary is commensurate with qualifications. The grant-funded position includes employee benefits, but continuation depends on funding and performance.
Applicants should submit a complete Workday application containing a CV or resume, cover letter, and list of references. Candidates who have completed doctoral requirements but are awaiting formal conferral must provide official certification and the conferral date.
