The Blainey lab is seeking an exceptional postdoctoral associate to contribute to solving the antibiotic resistance crisis. This postdoc will join a collaborative team of scientists and engineers to apply the lab's powerful and well-established kChip droplet microfluidic platform to drive the discovery of new molecular entities. This work entails deep engagement with the Antimicrobial Discovery Center at Northeastern University and other project teams in the Defeating Antibiotic Resistance through Transformative Solutions (DARTS) program of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). This individual will have a background in chemistry, microbiology, and/or microdevices and have some expertise in computational or statistical data analysis. The individual will lead the microfluidics, data collection, and analysis aspects of project work and partner with Dr. Blainey and collaborating groups to drive the project forward overall and meet reporting responsibilities. This position may entail supervision of up to 2 other researchers and scope to additional applications of the kChip and other technology platforms. The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is the world's leading biomedical research institute dedicated to the bold mission of using the full power of genomics to transform the understanding and treatment of disease. We seek to describe all of the molecular components of life and their connections; discover the molecular basis of major human diseases; develop effective new approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics; and disseminate discoveries, tools, methods, and data openly to the entire scientific community. Qualifications Ph.D. in a life science field such as microbiology, chemical biology, biochemistry, biological engineering or equivalent experience required Required skills and experience: Self-motivated and curious experimentalist with strong project-level orientation and commitment Ability to design and interpret complex experiments involving microbes and compounds Collaborative team-oriented mindset and ability to share both workload and credit Ability to work coordinate in a dynamic interdisciplinary and inter-institutional environment Demonstrated ability to think creatively to solve problems independently and with others Strong writing skills, as evidenced by a strong record of publication as a major contributor and presentations across a variety of settings, are particularly valued Outstanding organization and time management with attention to detail Statistical analysis and interpretation of complex large-scale datasets Microbial culture, automated microscopy (Nikon Elements), molecular assay design skills and experience Experience with micro-fabrication using hard and soft lithography in a cleanroom environment is a plus Experience using microfluidics devices and droplet emulsion systems is a plus The Broad Institute provides a vibrant research environment with close links to top academic institutions across the Boston Area and provides the potential for the associate's contributions to be used and recognized worldwide.
