An NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship position is available for an outstanding and extremely motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH-funded research effort directed at studying (i) the role of V. cholerae biofilm formation in pathogenesis, and (ii) the use of Drosophila melanogaster to identify host and bacterial factors influencing susceptibility to V. cholerae infection.
Our laboratory, which is affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard Medical School, is located in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital Boston next to the Harvard Medical School Quadrangle, providing a very exciting scientific environment for research.
Recent graduates who are currently residing in the United States are encouraged to apply.
