The page is updated monthly. ************************************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------- Postdoctoral position: Immunity and host defense A Postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Northwestern University to study the functions of CD1 and MHC class Ib molecules in infectious disease. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or M.D. in Immunology or Microbiology. Experience in mouse models of infectious disease (e.g. Listeria and Mycobacteria) and cellular immunology is preferred. Qualifications also include strong interpersonal skills, excellent communication and organizational skills, an ability to work independently, and commitment to laboratory research. Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae, along with contact information of three references, and a cover letter describing research accomplishments and career goals by email to: Dr. Chyung-Ru Wang, chyung-ru-wang@northwestern.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- POSTDOCTORAL POSITION Microbial Functional Genomics A Postdoctoral Research Position is available to perform genetic and microarray analyses of M. paratuberculosis as part of the laboratory efforts to investigate microbial pathogenesis of Johne’s disease. The position is suitable for a recent Ph.D. graduate seeking to increase his/her experience in the fields of functional genomics and microbial pathogenesis. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in microbiology, biochemistry or a related discipline in addition to computer skills with a good command of spoken and written English. Experience in bacterial genetics and molecular biology is a must. Experience in genomics and working with animals is highly desirable. A commitment of at least 2 years is expected. You can check the laboratory website for more information (http://www.ahabs.wisc.edu/Faculty/talaat-a/). Send a curriculum vitae and inquiries to: Adel M. Talaat Department of Pathobiological Sciences Phone: 608-262-2861 --------------------------------------------------------------------- FACULTY POSITION EUKARYOTIC OR VIRAL PATHOGENESIS The Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) invites applications from outstanding scientists studying the molecular basis of pathogenesis of eukaryotic pathogens or viruses, with a strong emphasis on interactions with the host. Candidates working on medically relevant fungi, protozoans or viruses are particularly encouraged to apply. The intent is to recruit a tenure track faculty member at the Assistant Professor level (entry or experienced) who will expand our existing strengths in microbial pathogenesis and microbe-host interactions. The successful applicant will hold the MD and/or PhD degree and have strong research and teaching credentials. Candidates will be expected to develop and/or expand upon a robust, independent yet collaborative, extramurally funded research program. Teaching expectations include participation in courses in medical microbiology/immunology/virology and graduate courses in the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Ph.D. Program. Opportunities also exist to participate in related undergraduate courses. This position affords the opportunity to utilize the state-of-the-art facilities and resources associated with a major research and teaching institution and cancer center, while enjoying the high quality of life characteristic of the area of New England surrounding the Dartmouth community. For further information on the various programs at DMS see the listings at http://dms.dartmouth.edu/microbio/ and http://www.dartmouth.edu/~molpath/. Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research interests and plans, and three letters of reference. Direct the email or hard-copy applications to: George O'Toole, Ph.D. Karen.L.Thompson@dartmouth.edu Review of applications will start Sept. 15, 2007 and continue until the position is filled. Dartmouth Medical School is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from women and members of minority groups. --------------------------------------------------------------------- FIVE-YEARS POSTDOCTORAL POSITION at IBMC-Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology, Porto, Portugal.
