A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. David Serre in the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Our laboratory is interested in developing and applying novel genomic approaches to better understand the biology of malaria parasites. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to take the lead on genomic analyses of host/parasite interactions, using animal model or patient samples and state-of-the-art genomic approaches (including whole genome sequencing, single- cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomic). This postdoctoral position is supported by NIH awards and involves collaborations with researchers at NIH, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and in malaria-endemic countries. There are also opportunities for the successful candidate to develop her/his own independent projects.

Requirements

A PhD in biology, parasitology, bioinformatics, genomics or a related field is required. Experience with working with large amount of genomic data would be an advantage but is not required.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV to David Serre (dserre@som.umaryland.edu).
