Chan School of Public Health is seeking one or more postdoctoral fellows. The successful candidate(s) will work broadly in microbiome population studies and molecular multi-omics, with specifics to be determined by individual interest and experience. Funded projects with open positions include: - Computational methods development and consortium data management for the Human Virome Program, with the mandate to characterize viral (phage and eukaryotic) communities across the human body in health and disease. - Application of virome analysis methods in the colorectal cancer microbiome at global epidemiological population scale. - Integration host and microbiome multi-omics for early-onset colorectal cancer biomarker development and prevention. - Longitudinal modeling of infant microbiome trajectories in healthy populations as compared to autism and related neurodevelopmental phenotypes, as part of the Wellcome Leap FORM consortium. The incumbent will be an integral member of our group, working alongside postdocs, research staff, and students, as well as with collaborators and established software development teams. Our interdisciplinary lab represents a convergence of microbial ecology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, molecular microbiology, computer science, and software development. **PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (\\*Essential Functions)** - Facility with analytical methods for microbiome data, particularly computational approaches for metagenomic and metatranscriptomic profiling, multi-omic integration (e.g. with metabolomics or genetics), and their application in population studies. - Familiarity with c
