POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Indiana
University School of Medicine
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available to
investigate host-pathogen interactions using the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii as a model system. Related
to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, Toxoplasma causes life-threatening
infection in immunocompromised patients and has been linked to altering the behavior
of its host. We are investigating cellular changes that occur in both the parasite
and its host that are critical to pathogenesis.
Position
requires a Ph.D., expertise in molecular biology, neuroscience, or cell signaling,
and excellent communication skills (speaking and writing English). Experience
in microbiology/parasitology is a plus, but not required. Submit CV, project
plan (half page), and contact information for three references to Dr. Bill
Sullivan (wjsulliv@iu.edu). Applicants that
fail to include a brief description of project ideas will not be considered.
Our
lab is part of the Intracellular Pathogens Group at IU, which meets regularly
to foster innovation and collaboration. Visit www.sullivanlab.com for more information.
