The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the largest institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports a global program of research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.
Postdoctoral fellowship positions are available in the Pathogen-Host Cell Biology Section of the Laboratory of Bacteriology located at NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana. See more information about the Laboratory of Bacteriology.
Research in the section is focused primarily on two antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the investigation of human neutrophil biology and function.
Available projects will focus on the development of vaccine approaches for the prevention/treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae or the investigation of S. aureus virulence mechanisms.
Successful candidates will be expected to utilize existing methods and develop new methods or in vivo infection models for these projects. Existing methods include the isolation and handling of human neutrophils and blood components, laboratory animal infection models, confocal and electron microscopy, flow cytometry, molecular biology, genomics, and protein chemistry to study bacteria-host interactions.
