Genetic and immunological basis for human fungal infections

Methods will include analysis of whole genome sequencing, production of iPS cells and generation and analysis of KO and KI mouse models by single cell sequencing, live vital microscopy and conventional flow cytometry. The goal of the fellowship is to develop an independent, funded program for the graduating postdoctorate fellow, and the program contains elements leading to robust preliminary data as well as experience in grant writing and career development.

The candidate will be replacing a former post-doctorate fellow who recently secured NIH finding and a faculty position at a well-known research medical institution with a generous start up package. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a related area (genetics and immunology) and/or an M.D. or equivalent, awarded within the last five years. The applicant must also have a strong publication record that shows expertise and productivity related to the research focus of the laboratory. Career goals could be to secure a faculty position or a leadership position in industry.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply. NIH welcomes foreign nationals with the exception of individuals from this list.
