Join the Suez Lab!

We are a systems microbiology group in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. We combine computational and experimental work with clinical trials to understand how microbes interact with each other and with the host - and the implications for human health.

We are currently recruiting a postdoc to join our team. Johns Hopkins graduate and undergraduate students interested in rotating with us - please see below.

What are you looking for?

Science is for everyone, and as a mentor, I am committed to promoting equity and fostering an inclusive, safe, and collaborative environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Individuals from underrepresented groups in biomedicine are encouraged to apply.

Science is a serious matter in which ethics, rigor, and research quality are critical. At the same time, I believe science can, and should be, fun!

Why should I join?

Because the microbiome field never ceases to amaze! And as we learn more about its crucial functions in human health and disease, we also realize how little we understand and how much more remains to be discovered. The microbiome field is especially primed for discovery through curiosity-driven science, and more readily translates to clinical impact than many other areas of biomedical research. 

How can I join?

For all positions, previous experience in microbiology, immunology, or data science is helpful but not mandatory – we will train you! When inquiring about a position, tell me about your background and how it relates to the lab's research.

Postdoctoral Fellows. We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to lead one of several exciting projects, and we can also work together to materialize your own ideas. Please send Jotham (Jsuez1 at jhu.edu) your CV and a brief letter describing your research interests and why you want to join the lab. Contact information for your graduate advisor and two other references should be included on the CV, with letters available upon request.

Graduate students. Prospective PhD and Master’s students are encouraged to consult our departmental online information regarding the available programs. Students currently affiliated with the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology programs and interested in joining the lab for their rotation should contact Jotham directly.

Undergraduate students. JHU undergraduates interested in participating in our research activities should contact Jotham directly.
