A post-doctoral research associate position is available at Emory University for the Bean Beetle Microbiome Project, an NSF-funded education-research collaboration with Morehouse College. The project focuses on animal-microbe interactions and biology education research, specifically on the importance of student autonomy in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) using the bean beetle microbiome. The post-doc will work with PIs to facilitate faculty professional development workshops, implement CUREs, and assist with student assessment, with opportunities to develop own projects and gain teaching experience. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in biological sciences or biology education, with prior experience in microbiome research or inquiry-based laboratory teaching desirable. The position offers a minimum starting salary of $48,432 with benefits and funding for travel, with an initial appointment of one year (renewable for a second year) and an anticipated start date of January 1, 2019. Applications should be submitted as a single pdf file, including a cover letter, CV, and references, to [email protected].
