Postdoctoral Research Associate, Hughes Lab (University of North Texas): Streptomyces and actinobacterial phages

Full-time postdoctoral position in Lee Hughes's lab in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of North Texas (Denton, Texas), posted on the UNT System careers site. The lab studies the diversity of bacteriophages that infect actinobacterial hosts, with an emphasis on Streptomyces. The work covers phage isolation, genome annotation and experimental characterisation of the viruses, their proteins and their host interactions, plus project management, manuscripts and proposals, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Requires a PhD in Biology (or all requirements completed, with the degree pending); experience with gene cloning and genetic engineering in actinobacterial phage systems is preferred.
