POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available
to investigate host-pathogen interactions during infection with the protozoan
parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Related
to the malaria parasite, Toxoplasma causes
birth defects and life-threatening infection in immunocompromised AIDS or heart
transplant patients. The successful candidate will investigate proteome-wide
changes in lysine acetylation taking place in the host cell during infection.
Lysine acetylation has rapidly emerged as a vital post-translational modification
important for protein localization, activity, signaling, and complex formation.
Using state of the art genetic and biochemical approaches, the candidate will
investigate ways to disrupt lysine acetylation to make the host cell less
hospitable for intracellular parasites.
Position
requires a Ph.D., expertise in biochemistry & cell biology, and excellent
communication skills (speaking and writing English). Experience in host-pathogen
interactions and/or bioinformatics is a plus. Submit CV and contact information
for three references to Dr. Bill Sullivan (wjsulliv@iupui.edu).
Located
in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is the second largest medical school in the US and boasts an
outstanding intellectual atmosphere and core facilities. IUSM was nationally
ranked in the Top 30 Best Places to Work for Postdocs. Our lab is part of a
larger intracellular parasitism group at IU that fosters innovation and
collaboration. IUSM is an equal opportunity employer. Visit www.sullivanlab.com for more
