Job Description

The Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research (CMMR) in the Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology at the Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to support the development of new techniques and protocols that will take advantage of versatile microfluidic systems. As a post-doctoral scientist in CMMR, you will work to develop novel microbial enrichment technologies with the goals of improving downstream biological analyses.

The successful candidate will have a scientific background in instrument design and/or development, fluidic and microfluidic systems, as well as wet-lab experience in the chemistry used in those instruments. In this position the post-doctoral scientist will work cross-functionally with engineering and other R&D Scientists in the development of these novel technologies. In addition to technical qualifications, the ideal candidate will be goal-oriented, inquisitive, collaborative, organized, and be able to thrive in an atmosphere of shifting demands and priorities.

· Hands-on evaluation, testing and development of new cell separation technologies, bio-detection & molecular sample preparation technologies.

· Execute studies with limited guidance or direction.

· Maintain detailed experimental records and document results in technical reports in a laboratory notebook.

· Establish prototype specifications for initial feasibility studies.

· Work collaboratively and participate in group meetings

· Analyze data using statistical tools such as Microsoft Excel

· Analyze data and implement electronic controls and measurement subsystems using Matlab, LabView, or some other programming languages.

· Perform physics simulations with software tools such as COMSOL or FlexPDE.

· Perform prototype optimization experiments.

· Prepare microbial cell cultures, colony counting, and preparing microbial cell culture media.

· Prepare and purify DNA and RNA and perform real-time PCR assays and/or sample prep for DNA sequencing as required.

· Perform basic microscopy and more advanced fluorescence imaging techniques.

· Maintain and promote a safe working environment.

· Enhance the CMMR's scientific knowledge by your own scientific background, connections and understanding of the scientific literature.

· Understanding of and ability to persuade others of value of projects.

· Participate and present data at internal technical meetings and prepare progress reports.

· If asked, present at external scientific meetings.

Required:

· Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields

· Publication(s) in a peer reviewed journal

· Research experience and/or demonstrated interest in host-microbial interactions

· Experience in bioinformatics analysis

Preferred

· Hands-on experience with fabricating microfluidic devices is preferred.

· Knowledge and experiences with electrokinetic phenomena are preferred.
