Postdoctoral position: Host-pathogen interactions


POSTDOCTORAL POSITION

Biochemistry, Microbiology, Host-Pathogen Interactions

 
Indiana University School of Medicine


POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available to investigate host-pathogen interactions during infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Related to the malaria parasite, Toxoplasma causes birth defects and life-threatening infection in immunocompromised AIDS or heart transplant patients. The successful candidate will investigate proteome-wide changes taking place in the host cell during infection and employ state of the art genetic and biochemical approaches to make the host cell less hospitable for intracellular parasites.


Position requires a Ph.D., expertise in biochemistry & cell biology, and excellent communication skills (speaking and writing English). Experience in host-pathogen interactions and/or bioinformatics is a plus. Submit CV and contact information for three references to Dr. Bill Sullivan (wjsulliv@iupui.edu).


Located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is the second largest medical school in the US and boasts an outstanding intellectual atmosphere and core facilities.
