Postdoctoral positions are immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Leggas in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to study the pharmacology and effects of treatment in infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome. We are looking for highly motivated candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas: a) pharmacogenetics or epigenetics, b) microbiome, and c) bioinformatics of lipidomic and/or metabolomic workflows.

Although projects are loosely defined within the scope of the NIH R01 award, there are opportunities for new mutually agreed upon directions.  Trainees will interact with a multidisciplinary team of translational and clinical scientists with multiple opportunities to present their work and develop their scientific and soft skills. The lab includes Ph.D.-level staff and graduate students. Trainees from the Leggas lab have transitioned to academic, industry, or government positions.
