Job Description:
Overview
The faculty in MBM are united by a common interest in the biology
of microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) and the
effects of microbes on human and animal hosts. The microbial
pathogens program studies microorganisms that cause infectious
diseases, with emphasis on rigorous analysis of these pathogens and
the immune responses that restrict them. Program investigators
direct detailed studies of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and
eukaryotic parasites. Research topics include structural analysis
of virus entry, viral evolution, viral oncogenes, intracellular
bacterial pathogens, microorganisms that cause diarrhea and
pneumonia, intracellular signaling, pathogen adhesion, genetic
determinants involved in susceptibility to infection, vaccine
development, and identification of novel antimicrobial agents.
What You'll Do
The position will involve a blend of an independent laboratory
based research project, assisting others with their projects and a
small amount of lab management. Duties will include: cell culture
maintenance and experiments, performing bench laboratory
experiments, and some lab management. The successful candidate must
be able to easily work with and communicate positively with others
and extremely well organized and should have a BA or ScB in a
scientific discipline. Training will be provided for the laboratory
based research, but prior experience with sterile technique, tissue
culture, microbiological manipulations and/or FACS analysis will be
strongly favored.
