Postdoctoral Research Associate; Mixed Computational Experimentalist - Meyer Lab

Overview

The Meyer Lab in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences e Children’s Research Hospital is currently recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher with skills in both computational and experimental biology to join our team in reimagining how we discover and deploy drug combinations in the clinic. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, integrating high-throughput screening, computational models, and systems biology to elucidate the mechanisms of drug interactions in complex biological systems, with a particular focus on infectious disease.

• A Ph.D. in pharmacology, microbiology, chemical biology, or a related field
• Experience designing, executing, analyzing, and interpreting quantitative experiments, including high-throughput screens.
• Experience with coding software such as Python, R, and Git Hub.
• An ambition to make major contributions to the field of systems pharmacology by driving an independent research project.
• Strong communication skills and a desire to work in a team-oriented, interdisciplinary environment.
• Candidates with experience in biofilm biology, quantitative microscopy, and/or evolution of AMR are particularly encouraged.

This position offers access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the High Throughput Bioscience Center and a high-performance computing environment with 5.3 PFLOPS of power and 150 PB of storage capacity. It provides a collaborative and supportive research environment, opportunities to work on high-impact problems in human health, and highly competitive postdoctoral salaries typically 20–25% above NIH guidelines in a low-cost-of-living city, along with comprehensive benefits and robust support for professional development.
