About this role
The Clasen lab in the Department of Microbiology at UTK is seeking a post-doctoral researcher with expertise in structural biology. The lab studies the relationship between the host immune system and the commensal microbes that colonize the intestinal tract. We seek to understand how host immune responses impact microbial behavior. To address this, we employ a combination of techniques in molecular biology and immunology, next generation sequencing, and in vitro and in vivo models.
