About this position
North Carolina State University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Scholar position at the Plants for Human Health Institute in Kannapolis, North Carolina, working with Dr. Andrew Neilson. The project sits at the intersection of phytochemicals, gut microbiome, nutrition, and human health, with a strong emphasis on how plant-derived compounds influence disease-related pathways.
The lab’s current research thrusts include: (1) using phytochemicals to modulate gut microbiome-derived uremic toxins such as TMAO, phenylacetic acid/phenylacetylglutamine, and imidazole propionate; and (2) understanding how individual genetic differences affect phytochemical bioavailability, metabolism, and efficacy for disease prevention. The work involves anaerobic fecal fermentations, rodent nutrition/disease models, mammalian and bacterial cell culture, and instrumental analysis, especially LC-MS/MS.
This is a strong fit for candidates with backgrounds in microbiology, microbiome research, molecular biology, nutrition science, food science, biochemistry, toxicology, or related fields. The posting specifically prefers experience with PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, anaerobic microbiology, analytical chemistry, in vitro work, rodent work, and related techniques. Applicants should also have a record of peer-reviewed publishing, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently, lead complex projects, and mentor students.
The position is full-time and offers an anticipated salary range of $58,000-$60,000. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to manuscripts, reports, and grant proposals, and to help develop postdoctoral fellowship applications and other external funding applications (e.g., USDA, NIH). The posting does not mention a fixed application deadline.
To apply, submit a cover letter, CV/resume, and contact information for three professional references through the NC State jobs portal.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
