Postdoctoral Associate

Baylor College of Medicine

Job Description

We are seeking to hire a motivated individual for a post-doctoral associate position in the laboratory of Dr. Shelly Buffington in the Center for Precision Environmental Health (CPEH). Dr. Buffington’s team recently discovered that diet-induced disruption of the maternal gut microbiome adversely affects brain and behavioral outcomes across multiple descendant generations (Di Gesù, Matz et al., Cell Rep 2022). The research program is focused on how maternal environmental exposures, from diet to infection, alter offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes and risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.

The post-doctoral associate will be involved in research applying a broad range of techniques, from flow cytometry-based immune profiling, epigenetics, cell and molecular biology as well as biochemistry, to behavioral neuroscience. Research would include performing molecular and behavioral experiments, histology, and image acquisition and analysis. This position is ideal for an individual who has training in cell and molecular biology, microbiology and immunology, or epigenetics and will be responsible for data generation and analysis. The candidate will also contribute data to grant submissions, data presentation, and the preparation and publication of manuscripts. The position requires the individual to work with rodent animal models.
