General Statement

The DuBois Lab is looking for a qualified Postdoctoral Research Associate or biochemistry professional in an established and productive research lab. The individual filling this position will carry out biochemical research in one of two project areas. First, we are seeking to characterize the interplay of human and microbiome metabolisms at the molecular level. We are specifically interested in understanding the biochemistry of iron metabolism by the types of bacteria that live symbiotically within the human GI tract. A second project area concerns the engineering of an enzymatic cascade for converting waste plastic into useful materials.

Experimental work may include molecular cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of proteins, activity assays, and biophysical studies of the purified enzymes and metabolites, depending on the project defined for the applicant. Biophysical studies could involve use of mass spectrometry, NMR, and other allied techniques. Bacterial cultivation in fermenter, chemostat, or anaerobic chambers may be relevant.
