Post Doctoral Research Fellow-Malaria Pathogenesis (Daily Lab)

The Daily lab is hiring a post-doctoral fellow to study brain swelling in the experimental model of cerebral malaria (ECM). We are seeking a highly motivated and productive scientist to lead the program which will define mechanisms of brain swelling through analysis of gene knock out of parasite virulence proteins, metabolomics, histopathology and neuroimaging. Adjunctive therapies will be tested in vivo to improve survival in ECM. The scientist will be expected to design and conduct experiments, interpret data and prepare manuscripts. Funding is available for two years, the initial appointment is for one year and will be renewed with satisfactory progress.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is located in the Bronx, NY. Einstein ranks 7^th in NIH award dollars per investigator among US Medical Schools, has extensive core facilities and a highly collaborative research environment.

Please send a CV and cover letter to Dr. Johanna Daily johanna.daily@einsteinmed.org.

A doctoral degree or equivalent (Ph.D., M.D., ScD., D.V.M., etc.) in an appropriate field is required.
Experience in the animal model of infection is highly desirable.
Strong scientific writing ability, work ethic and collegiality are required.
A record of first author publications are desired.

Successful applications will have relevant work experience in molecular parasitology or related fields.
