Joining the Lab
Make sure to check out our research page to see what its like to be in the lab! Think you might be a good fit? Join us!
Postdoctoral Fellows
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Kimmey and include a cover letter that includes a description of your research experience and the research you want to carry out in the lab, and your CV. Postdoctoral fellows must have done their PhD in a microbiology or molecular biology related field. Experience with hypothesis-driven research in microbiology, pathogenesis, immunology, circadian biology or cell biology is required. Our lab is not a good fit for applicants interested in metagenomics, clinical surveillance/epidemiology, antibiotic screening etc.
​
For description of a former advertisement, click here* Though we are not accepting applications via that posting anymore, we do have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in one of our lab's area of research (e.g. molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, circadian biology, cellular immunology). If you feel you are a good fit for the lab, please send Dr. Kimmey an email with the requested materials.
​
Graduate Students
We accept Ph.D. students via the Program in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (PBSE) via the Microbial Biology and Pathogenesis (MICRO) track.
​
* Students interested in applying for 2024 entry will be able to apply here! Deadline is Nov 30. I will be accepting new graduate students into the lab from the 2024 entry class.
​
Undergraduate Researchers
