• Overview
  • The lab welcomes inquiries from individuals interested in joining the lab as graduate students to work on understanding phage-bacteria interactions in environmental and oral microbial communities, with all students expected to include both bioinformatics- and cultivation-based study of phages in their research programs. Students joining the group without external funding will be expected to prepare and submit at least one application for external funding support during their time in the program. Eligible avenues for joining the lab include admission into: the Oral Biology MS (deadline April 1, 2021) or Oral Biology PhD (deadline Feb 1, 2021) graduate programs in the School of Dental Medicine, or the PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences (PPBS) in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (deadline Dec 15, 2020).

• Overview
  • The lab welcomes inquiries from individuals interested in joining the lab to work as postdocs on phage-bacteria interactions in the oral microbiome. Those joining the group without external funding will be expected to directly support current and developing project lines described on the “Home” page. Funding is currently available for a postdoctoral fellow through the NIH/NIDCR-funded “Advanced Training in Oral Biology” T32 National Research Service Award Institutional Training Grant (trainees must be US citizens or permanent residents to be eligible), as well as for a clinical dental specialist postdoctoral scholar through the NIH/NIDCR-funded “Buffalo Oral-Research and Specialty Training Program (BORST)” K12 (trainees must be US citizens or permanent residents to be eligible). If you are interested in joining the group please reach out by email, including your CV and a statement of interest.
