The Infectious Bacterial Diseases research unit within the USDA National
Animal Disease Center (NADC) in Ames, Iowa, USA has funding for a
computational/bioinformaticist ARS postdoc.

The federal job comes with a competitive salary and outstanding benefits
package. Duties include work on pathogenic diseases important to animal
agriculture with high flexibility in project objectives, including work with
domestic and/or wildlife species. Additional details below, please reach out
with questions, interest, or requests for additional project description.

USDA ARS Head-Quarters Funded Postdoc Position
- Funded for two full years, possibility of extension
- Must be US resident or citizen
- NADC location Ames, Iowa, USA Potential for remote work

Core Responsibilities:

As a post-doctoral researcher in the infectious bacterial disease research
project, responsibilities involve providing project support for the
development and analysis of bioinformatic approaches to analyze
transcriptomic, proteomic, and other data sets from cattle and other large
animal species (deer, elk, bison) of interest to the project. Understanding
and background in microbiology, biology, genetics, immunology, and/or animal
science is preferred. The goal of the project is to identify host immune and
pathogen transcriptomic profiles following vaccination and or disease
challenge that may be associated with protective immune responses and may
serve as biomarkers of protection or severity of disease.

Specific projects may include; bacterial proteomic comparison, host species
transcriptomics of blood and tissue, microbiome investigation, and single
cell RNA sequencing of immune cells responding to vaccination/challenge.
Duties will involve input on experimental design, development/use of
bioinformatic pipelines for data analysis, data interpretation and
presentation of results. The researcher will work in collaboration with
other project scientists, students, and technicians to develop and execute
the project. The researcher may assist with experimental design, experiment
execution, sample collection, sample preparation, sample submission, data
collection and analysis, and in preparation of manuscripts for submission
and publication. There are opportunities present data/share results at local
and national conferences.
