POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS Bacterial Pathogenesis Positions are available to study the molecular pathogenesis of facultative and obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens in the laboratory of Tony Maurelli, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, Bethesda, MD. Projects on the molecular pathogenesis of Chlamydia include: development of tools for genetic analysis of Chlamydia spp.; characterization of the pathway for peptidoglycan synthesis; the role of peptidoglycan in cell division; metabolic pathway “hole” filling; and identification of transport systems for uptake of nutrients essential for Chlamydia growth. Projects on the molecular pathogenesis of Shigella involve mechanisms of anti-apoptosis, metabolic requirements for intracellular growth, and identification of anti-virulence genes and their application to drug discovery and vaccine design. More information can be found on our web site at https://www.usuhs.mil/content/anthony-t-maurelli-phd Experience in bacterial genetics or physiology/biochemistry and molecular biology is required. Individuals trained in cell biology who are interested in working on host cell aspects of Shigella and Chlamydia pathogenesis will also be considered. Candidates should send a statement of short-term and long-term research and career goals, a current CV, and names of three references to: [email protected]. Positions are available immediately but the start date is flexible. Successful candidates will be hired as employees of the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, a nonprofit medical research organization (http://www.hjf.org/). The Foundation offers a competitive salary and generous benefits package.
