We are seeking 1–2 postdoctoral fellows to join our lab in studying polymicrobial interactions and host–microbe interactions with agricultural relevance. Our research integrates comparative genomics, ecological sampling, microbial genetics, and functional assays to understand how fungi, bacteria, and phages interact within polymicrobial communities and how these interactions influence microbial pathogenesis in plant hosts.

Our lab has strong expertise in functional genomics and experimental evolution, using bottom-up approaches to address these questions. We welcome postdoctoral researchers with complementary interests—such as plant immunity, evolutionary genomics, or microbial ecology—to join our team. This position is ideal for recently graduated PhD scientists who are passionate about microbial interactions and aspire to pursue a faculty position in academia.

The position is open until filled.

Research Topics

1. Genetic basis of fungal–bacterial–phage interactions and their impact on microbial community development
2. Comparative analysis of microbial pathogenic genes in single versus mixed infections
3. Bioinformatic and evolutionary analysis of antimicrobial genes in plant pathogens

Job Responsibilities

1. Lead and contribute to independent and collaborative research projects
2. Design and conduct experiments and/or computational data analyses
3. Develop and maintain standardized laboratory protocols or bioinformatic pipelines
4. Actively participate in manuscript preparation and scientific presentations
5. Mentor graduate and undergraduate researchers

• PhD in biology, microbiology, genomics, evolutionary biology, or a related discipline
• Experience in phage biology, plant immunity, comparative genomics, and/or working with plant fungal or bacterial pathogens is highly desirable
• Strong programming skills in Python and R, with experience analyzing NGS data, preferred
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment
• Excellent English writing and communication skills
• Willingness to mentor students and develop grant-writing skills
• Strong organizational, prioritization, and time-management abilities
• Positive, adaptable, and self-motivated attitude

We are seeking 1-2 M.S.-level research associates to join us in dissecting the mechanisms and consequences of fungal-bacterial competition. We focus on the interaction between Pseudomonas species and fungal plant pathogens.

Check our lab website: www.labofpie.org

Research topics

1. Functional genomic investigation of fungal or bacterial defense genes
2. Ecology and sampling of Pseudomonas species and interacting fungi in the wild
3. Co-evolutionary consequences of competing fungi and bacteria
