美国伊利诺伊大学基因组生物学研究所2024年招聘博士后（口腔微生物）

伊利诺伊大学（University of Illinois），简称UI或U of I，创建于1867年，是美国最具影响力的公立大学系统之一，拥有“公立常春藤”的美誉，在全世界享有盛名。其三所分校分别位于伊利诺伊州的大学城厄巴纳-香槟、芝加哥以及斯普林菲尔德。

伊利诺伊大学与中国有着特殊的关系，早在1906年，时任校长爱德蒙·詹姆斯致信美国总统西奥多·罗斯福，建议将庚子赔款用于发展中国的教育事业，后来发展为庚子赔款奖学金，诸多的中国学生藉此得以留美深造。在1911-1920年间，伊利诺伊大学收留和培养了多达三成的留美中国学生，是对中国学生最友好的美国大学之一。

Postdoctoral associate work on oral microbes

Urbana, Illinois

Salary

Annual starting salary is $70,000.

Closing date

Jan 3, 2025

The Microbiome Metabolic Engineering research theme, and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Modeling, at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign seek a creative and energetic applicant for a postdoctoral associate position to work together on an exciting team science project studying oral microbes, including Streptococcus, Porphyromonas, and Fusobacterium species, and their viruses (i.e. phages). The project will leverage high-throughput bacteria/phage isolation and computational approaches to characterize and learn the rules of microbe-phage interactions, with the ultimate goal of developing translational strategies for promoting oral health in diverse populations. Successful candidates will have access to training and mentoring from a team of scientists and engineers with expertise in bacterial genetics, phage biology, microbiome studies, computational biology, and machine learning. The position will offer excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary training and a vibrant work environment.
