The Immunopathogenesis Section of the NIAID Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology is now seeking applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship position.
About the position
Prospective applicants will join our team investigating mycobacterial pathogenesis and host–pathogen interactions. Currently, we have a particular emphasis on understanding how 'Mycobacterium abscessus' evades host immune defenses and identifying strategies to enhance antimicrobial responses. Our program integrates transcriptomic, metabolomic, bacterial genomic, and immunologic approaches to advance basic research to potentially translate our findings into clinical and diagnostic applications.
The successful postdoctoral fellow will conduct research under the mentorship of Drs. Steven M. Holland and Adrian M. Zelazny, experts in primary immunodeficiencies and host-defense against mycobacteria, and mycobacterial diagnosis and virulence, respectively.
