Postdoctoral Scholar - Microbial Pathogenesis

Post-doctoral scholar positions (Ph.D.) funded by NIH are available immediately to study Chlamydia, the most commonly reported cause of infectious disease in the U.S. These projects are a collaboration between Dr. Ming Tan (Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics) and Dr. Christine Suetterlin (Department of Developmental and Cell Biology) at the University of California, Irvine.

Research areas:
1) Developmental regulation: mechanisms by which Chlamydia uses its cell size and temporal gene expression to control differentation between its replicating and infectious forms

2) Host-pathogen interactions: how this intracellular bacterium dysregulates the centrosome, cilia, cell cycle and intracellular trafficking of the infected host cell.

Experience in transcriptional regulation, protein purification, cellular microbiology, cell biology and microscopy would be advantageous.
