Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The Townsend Lab is recruiting a motivated, enthusiastic, and highly organized postdoctoral associate to join our growing team in The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Penn State College of Medicine.

We are focused on understanding the interactions between our bodies and the human gut microbiota by characterizing the molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship. We are seeking a skilled postdoc to collaborate within an established research team dedicated to characterizing the determinants governing microbial colonization of the mammalian intestine.

The applicant will preferably have experience with thin-layer, affinity, and liquid chromatographic techniques to fractionate bacterial metabolites, mucosal glycans and other biomolecules.

Furthermore, the successful candidate will have many opportunities to supervise and instruct undergraduate and graduate students to enhance your marketable skills.
