We
are currently looking for four postdoctoral scholars to work on three different
NIH-funded projects investigating host-parasite interactions. We are studying
the innate and adaptive immune response to
Toxoplasma and, in turn, how
Toxoplasma
modulates the host cell. We are particularly interested in individual differences
in host susceptibility to
Toxoplasma and
Toxoplasma strain
differences in interacting with the host. The Vet School at UC Davis is ranked
as the best in the country and our location in the Vet School will allow us to
investigate
Toxoplasma proteins that play a role in its sexual cycle in
cats and to perform genetic crosses to identify the molecular basis for
phenotypic strain differences. More information can be found on our
website:

We
are looking for team players that are excited about studying host-parasite
interactions and have excellent communication skills. Previous experience with
molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, genetics or computational skills
is a plus.
UC
Davis is located in the town of Davis, which is ranked as one of the best towns
to live in in the nation. Davis is close to San Francisco, Sacramento, the
Napa/Sonoma wine country and the Lake Tahoe ski area. UC Davis offers excellent
benefits and multiple opportunities for professional development for postdocs
(see
https://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/postdoctoral).
Interested
candidates can submit a current C.V. and names of three references to: Dr.
Jeroen Saeij (
jsaeij@mit.edu), Associate
Professor of Biology.
