About this position

The Soil Microbial Ecology Laboratory at Saint Louis University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to support ongoing work on soil microbiomes and soil function. The project combines field-based soil sampling with laboratory and computational analyses to understand microbial processes in soil systems.

The successful candidate will work on multi-omics research spanning metagenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, with a strong emphasis on bioinformatics and data interpretation. The role includes quantifying microbial functional genes, developing AI-driven bioinformatics workflows, and analyzing high-throughput datasets to connect microbial activity with soil properties and ecosystem function.

In addition to computational work, the postdoc will contribute to experimental design and hands-on laboratory activities such as soil incubation, DNA/RNA extraction, qPCR, sequence library preparation, and measurement of soil properties including pH, moisture content, and inorganic nitrogen. The position also involves training undergraduate and graduate students, supporting lab protocols, and helping build the group’s research capacity.

The appointment is within Dr. Laibin Huang’s Microbial Ecology Lab at Saint Louis University, a research environment focused on generating preliminary data, establishing robust molecular methods, and producing publishable results from complex environmental datasets.

Funding details

Salary is commensurate with experience; health insurance benefits are provided. Appointment is for 1 year with the possibility of an additional year pending satisfactory progress.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in microbial ecology, microbiology, bioinformatics, or a related field. Required experience includes multi-omics pipeline development and analysis, wet-lab work such as soil incubation, qPCR, and DNA/RNA extraction, and evidence of scientific productivity through peer-reviewed publications. Candidates should also be able to take a leadership role for the project.

How to apply

Email Dr. Laibin Huang with a cover letter describing your research experience and starting date availability, a CV, and the names, telephone numbers, and email addresses of three professional references. Use the subject line: “Your Last Name - Postdoc Application.”
