POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Indiana
University School of Medicine
We are accepting applications for postdoctoral
candidates who are interested in elucidating the role of autophagy proteins in
the medically important pathogen Toxoplasma
gondii. Related to the malaria
parasite, Toxoplasma causes serious
opportunistic disease in congenitally infected infants and in immunocompromised
(HIV/AIDS) patients. This is an NIH-funded position in the laboratories of Drs.
Gustavo Arrizabalaga (www.arrizabalagalab.org) and Bill Sullivan (www.sullivanlab.com). Projects include investigating the role of
unusual parasite autophagy proteins in microbial latency and how
post-translational modifications affect autophagy processes.
The position requires a Ph.D., expertise in cell/molecular
biology or biochemistry, and excellent communication skills (speaking and
writing English). Experience in microbiology/parasitology is a plus, but not
required. Submit CV and contact information for three references to garrizab@iu.edu. Applicants that
include a brief description of project ideas will have priority.
Our laboratories are part of the “BIP” (Biology
of Intracellular Pathogens) group at the Indiana University School of Medicine
(IUSM): http://wjsulliv.wix.com/bipatiu. Located in downtown
Indianapolis, IUSM (http://medicine.iu.edu/) is the second largest medical school in the US and boasts an outstanding intellectual atmosphere
