Job Title:Positions for Toxin-Antitoxin Systems/Biofilm Formation/Virulence/Persistence

Job Number:4009824

Date Posted:08/29/2011

Application Deadline:10/31/2011

Job Description

Post-doctoral positions are available immediately for microbiologists, molecular biologists, biochemical engineers, and geneticists interested in discerning the genetic basis of bacterial biofilm formation, of toxin/antitoxin systems (i.e., persistence), and of virulence using E. coli and P. aeruginosa as model systems. We have an Affymetrix facility wholly contained in my lab that allows unparalleled access to microarray data. Also, the lab is newly renovated (3500 ft2) and in a beautiful edifice. A Ph.D. in microbiology, molecular microbiology, biochemistry, or a related field with a strong background in molecular biology is required as well as a strong desire to learn about bacterial physiology. Experience with microarrays is advantageous but is not necessary. Applicants should have a successful peer-reviewed publication history (at least two published manuscripts as a first author). Our laboratory has researchers working on various projects including the protein engineering of biofilm-related regulators and protein structure/function relationships. Our recent biofilm publications include those in Nature Chemical Biology, Nature Communications, PLoS Pathogens, PNAS, Nature ISMEJ, Microb. Biotechnol., J. Molecular Biology, Infect. Immun., Molecular Systems Biology, Environ. Microbiol., J. Bacteriol., BMC Microbiology, and Appl. Environ. Microbiol. Note we will be moving the laboratory to Penn State University in December 2011.
