Associate Research Scientist in Microbial Omics

The Wright Group in the Department of Biology at Baylor University is seeking an Associate Research Scientist in Microbial Omics with expertise and independent research in proteomics and/or metabolomics of microbiomes/microbes. The Wright Group is focused on phenotype-driven studies of gut and oral microbiomes. The group has more than 30 interdisciplinary undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, thus creating a complex and dynamic research setting that spans microbiome sciences, chemical biology, and mass spectrometry-based omics sciences. The Associate Research Scientist will (1) participate in the leadership of projects within the group; (2) develop their own research projects and seek extramural funding as PI, co-PI, or co-I; and (3) play a vital role in ensuring efficient and successful outcomes in the Wright Group by taking on select lab management duties.
