Scope of Work This administrative supplement will support Dr. Nkrumah Grant for a postdoctoral position in the Waters laboratory at Michigan State University. Dr. Grant will perform research to understand the function of novel Vibrio cholerae phage defense systems in their ecological context and explore if these systems can spread in bacteria populations through horizontal gene transfer. The research will expand the molecular biology skills of Dr. Grant, building upon his expertise in experimental evolution, to position him for his own future faculty position. While at MSU, Dr. Grant will be supported by Dr. Waters, his laboratory, and many mentoring and career development programs available to postdoctoral research fellows.

工作范围 这一行政补充将支持恩克鲁玛格兰特博士的博士后职位， 密歇根州立大学的沃茨实验室。格兰特博士将进行研究， 了解新型霍乱弧菌噬菌体防御系统在其生态中的功能 背景下，探索这些系统是否可以通过水平传播在细菌种群中传播 基因转移。这项研究将扩大格兰特博士的分子生物学技能， 他在实验进化方面的专业知识，让他能够胜任自己未来的教职。 在密歇根州立大学期间，格兰特博士将得到沃茨博士、他的实验室和许多导师的支持 以及为博士后研究员提供的职业发展计划。
