USDA-ARS Molecular Biology Fellowship U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in United States

This postdoctoral research opportunity is based with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, at the Eastern Regional Research Center in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. The work sits within the Characterization and Interventions for Foodborne Pathogens research unit, which investigates food safety problems linked to bacterial contamination and develops scientific tools to address them. The project focuses on creating rapid, field-deployable detection methods for important foodb...

This postdoctoral fellowship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Athens, Georgia focuses on Salmonella ecology and persistence in pasture-based poultry production systems . Working under the guidance of mentor Sohyun Cho , the fellow will investigate how Salmonella survives, adapts, persists, and transmits in poultry environments. The project combines phenotypic characterization , whole-genome sequencing , and transcriptomic profiling to build a d...

North Carolina State University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Scholar position in gut microbiota, bile acid metabolism, microbiology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics in Prof. Casey Theriot’s group at the College of Veterinary Medicine. The project focuses on characterizing bacteria that alter bile acids and compete with C. difficile for nutrients, as well as bioengineering bacteria to manipulate bile acid and amino acid metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract. The Theriot laboratory s...

Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Molecular Virology and Microbiology to conduct original research on vaccine development for drug-resistant pathogens. The research addresses the growing impact of antimicrobial resistance and the need for new vaccine targets against bacterial infections, including Escherichia coli , a major cause of infections worldwide. Multiple projects are available, with research overlapping an established phage biology program...

This postdoctoral position is based in Scarlet Shell’s lab in the Department of Biology & Biotechnology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The project centers on how Mycobacterium tuberculosis manages the relationship between RNA metabolism and mutation tolerance, with a particular focus on the ways this pathogen mitigates fitness costs caused by mutations selected during antibiotic exposure and other infection-related stressors. The successful fellow will contribute to a research program...
