The laboratory of Dr. Iliyan D. Iliev is looking for a recent Ph.D graduate with a strong background and expertise in one of the following area:
Computational biology/Microbiology/or Immunology with focus on metagenomics, microbiome, transcriptomics, fungal or bacterial genome/ transcriptome analysis, and/or metadata integration and analysis.
Highly motivated individuals with interests in the field of immunology, microbiota (fungal and bacterial), inflammatory diseases or cancer and expertize in computational biology are welcome to apply. The lab studies the interaction between commensal fungi and bacteria and how this interplay influence immune homeostasis, microbiota or diseases of inflammatory and neoplastic origin (Science 359 (6372): 232-6 (2018); Cell Host & Microbe Oct 2018 in press; Nature 491(7422):119-24; Science 336(6086):1314-7; Cell Host & Microbe 19(6):865–73; Nat.
