Postdoctoral Position – Microbial Pathogenesis
A post-doctoral scholar position funded by NIH and the American Cancer Society (Ph.D. required) is available to study Chlamydia , the most commonly reported cause of infectious disease in the U.S. Ongoing projects are focused on 1) Gene regulation: how chlamydial genes are temporally regulated during the unusual developmental cycle; and 2) Host-pathogen interactions (collaboration with Dr. Christine Sütterlin, Dept. of Developmental and
Cell Biology, UC Irvine): how this intracellular bacterium alters the centrosome, cell cycle and membrane trafficking in its infected host cell. Experience in transcriptional regulation, protein purification, cellular microbiology, cell biology, or microscopy would be advantageous. To apply, send a CV, contact information for three references, and a brief description of your research interests to: Dr. Ming Tan, Dept. of Microbiology and
Molecular Genetics, B240 Med Sci, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-4025, or email: mingt@uci.edu
