Open Postdoctoral Position

Department/Area
Rowland Institute at Harvard
Position Description
Applicants are now being considered for a postdoctoral position in the Gozzi Lab at the Rowland Institute at Harvard (https://www.rowland.harvard.edu/). Our lab's primary focus is on bacterial-encoded domesticated viruses, known as gene transfer agents, that package random sections of the host genome for use in genetic exchange. These virus-like entities are non-infectious and cannot replicate themselves, but are able to transduce random sections of the genome within a population. We aim to characterize gene transfer agent diversity, regulation and species-specificity across the Tree of Life. For further information on the lab, please visit: www.gozzilab.org
More broadly, bacteria constantly face a life-and-death struggle against lethal stresses in their microscopic world. We study how microbes adapt to their ever-changing environment, using simple and complex survival strategies. We hope to deeply understand how bacteria react and respond to stress and use this knowledge to engineer useful functions in bacteria.
We invite applications from postdoctoral candidates with backgrounds in microbiology and molecular biology. Applicants will benefit directly from the interdisciplinary core facilities at the Rowland Institute at Harvard and will be encouraged to participate in the Harvard and Boston scientific community. Harvard University postdocs are offered competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits packages.
Basic Qualifications
We invite applications from postdoctoral candidates with backgrounds in microbiology and molecular biology. Ideally, the candidate will have experience with bacterial husbandry, cloning, genetics, microscopy/biological imaging and/or protein biochemistry. A strong publication record in microbiology/molecular biology demonstrating these skills is highly preferred. Additional consideration will be given to applicants with a background in bioinformatics.
Additional Qualifications
Special Instructions
To apply, please send the following to kgozzi@fas.harvard.edu:
A cover letter describing past, current, and future research interests
A curriculum vitae
A list of contact information for up to 3 references
