Come join the Hogan Lab to study microbial evolution in chronic lung infections!
Postdoctoral positions in the Hogan Lab at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH are available with flexible start times. There are opportunities to work on fungi (non-albicans yeast including Candida lusitaniae and Candida auris) or on the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Project themes include using the analysis of naturally occurring evolution during in chronic infections to gain insight into in vivo fitness and microbe-microbe interactions. We focus on research that is guided by the analysis of populations from clinical samples and we use genomics, transcriptomics, genetics, and metabolic analyses to understand how the host and co-infecting microbes impact pathogen behavior and drug resistance.
We work in a vibrant, highly collaborative and interactive research environment within the Microbiology and Molecular Pathogenesis Program (M2P2) and Dartmouth Cystic Fibrosis Center (DartCF). Postdocs will have opportunities to present their work in a variety of venues including weekly seminar series, lab meetings, annual retreats and national and international scientific meetings. Members of the Hogan Lab collaborate with experts in diverse fields. Individualized professional development opportunities towards next career steps will be a core part of post-doctoral training.
The candidate must have a PhD, be experienced with molecular biological methods, and be fascinated by microbiology. Our research projects are supported by the National Institute of Health and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Hogan Lab is deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in science.
