genetic matings PostDoc positions and fellowships

This postdoctoral associate position at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences focuses on cardiovascular disease research using animal models. The successful candidate will design and conduct in vitro and in vivo experiments, maintain detailed laboratory records, analyze data, present findings at national conferences, and publish in high-impact journals. Under the guidance of a principal investigator, the role includes developing independent research projects, training students and technicians, and performing genetic matings to generate heart disease models.

The Selmecki lab at the University of Minnesota's Department of Microbiology and Immunology seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate mechanisms of acquired drug resistance using microbial evolution and molecular/cellular biology approaches. The role involves designing and conducting complex yeast genetics experiments, employing CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering, flow cytometry, and multi-omics analyses to phenotype drug-resistant strains. The candidate will lead a small team of undergraduate and postgraduate researchers, manage parallel evolution projects, and contribute to manuscript and grant writing. This full-time position offers a competitive salary of $63,480 annually and access to comprehensive university benefits.

Postdoctoral position in mucosal immunology, microbiota, and allergies at The Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Requires PhD in Immunology, Microbiology, or related fields with experience in flow cytometry and animal models.

A NERC-funded postdoctoral position to study the evolutionary dynamics of virus resistance in wild Australian rabbits using quantitative genetics and epidemiological modelling, based at the University of Cambridge with periodic work at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

Postdoctoral researcher to investigate molecular mechanisms of plant–microbe interactions, focusing on plant engineering for improved symbiotic associations with soil microbes, contributing to sustainable agriculture and UN SDGs.

Join the Wellcome-funded Anxiomics team at the University of Cambridge to investigate how genetic risk and immunological exposures interact across the life course to influence anxiety and related psychiatric outcomes, using large population cohort datasets and multi‑omic data.

Postdoctoral fellowship in biodiversity and AI research at CIB, CAS

This PhD position in Social Science Genetics is a joint appointment between Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Amsterdam UMC, part of the European Doctoral Network ESSGN. The project investigates how genetic and environmental factors shape inequalities in life chances using Europe’s largest multi‑generation databases and causal inference methods. Training includes courses in genetic foundations, practical skills in computational and bioinformatic analysis, and cutting‑edge research preparing graduates for academia, industry, or policy. The successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, full benefits, and a four‑year contract funded by the Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Actions.

ASARI at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University seeks a postdoc in fungal biotechnology and biomass valorization, emphasizing enzyme extraction, fungal genetics, and biodiversity. The role focuses on applied research to address agricultural challenges in Africa using advanced biotech techniques.

This postdoctoral position focuses on Picobirnaviruses (PBVs), small double-stranded RNA viruses prevalent in human enteric viromes. Recent evidence suggests PBVs are RNA bacteriophages rather than eukaryotic viruses. The project will investigate PBV interactions with bacterial hosts using in vitro and gnotobiotic mouse models, employing NGS, bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetic screens, virological and bacteriological methods to assess impacts on the microbiome and human health.

Postdoctoral position focusing on identification of pharmacogenomic biomarkers from biobanks and clinical genotyping/sequencing data and development of machine learning methods to interpret functional consequences of pharmacogenetic variants.

The University of Southern Denmark’s Research Unit for Molecular Microbiology invites applications for a 24‑month postdoctoral position to study how antibiotic‑resistant Gram‑negative pathogens sense and respond to membrane stress. The successful candidate will use advanced bacterial functional genetic screens, -Omics techniques, and live‑cell imaging, with optional microfluidics work, to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses in Acinetobacter baumannii under the supervision of Assistant Professor Lin Lin.
