The Lewin Lab is looking for enthusiastic and motivated scientists to join our team.

Research Assistants (Technician):

We are currently recruiting an engaged and thoughtful Research Assistant to lead a project studying the gene expression of microbes in the human oral cavity using computational approaches. Depending on the candidate, this position may also include additional opportunities to study the oral and vaginal microbiota using computational and/or wet-lab approaches. The application will be posted soon, and in the meantime, please reach out to Gina directly with any questions or to express interest in this role.

Postdoctoral Fellows:

We currently have an opening to hire a postdoctoral fellow to study how genomic and transcriptomic heterogeneity interplays with microbial interactions in the oral cavity and female reproductive tract. A major component of this work will be computational, with the opportunity for a wet-lab component as well. Ideally, we are interested in postdocs that can start Spring or Summer 2026. Postdocs are also encouraged to submit applications for independent funding to pursue these or other projects. To apply, please email Gina with a short cover letter that details your research interests and why you are applying to the Lewin lab in particular and your CV. For more information, reach out to Gina directly.

Graduate Students:

The Lewin Lab can train PhD students through the Case Western Biomedical Sciences Training Program or the Biology PhD Program and MS students through the Case Western Program in Molecular and Cellular Pathology. Please reach out if you are interested in applying to the lab through the Biology PhD program or if you are a current CWRU graduate student interested in learning more about the lab.

Undergraduate Students:

We do not currently have any opportunities for undergraduate students in our lab. If you would like to be considered for future openings, please email Gina with your resume or CV, and a description of why you are interested in this lab. To be successful in the lab, undergrads are asked to work 10-12 hours per week, and you will need to work in at least 2 hour blocks (ideally 3+ hours/block). Your hours must be within M-F 9-6 for safety and to allow for adequate mentorship.
