Postdoctoral Researcher in Molecular Microbiology

EMPLOYER: Laboratory of Dr. Sam King, Center for Microbial Pathogenesis.

LOCATION: Columbus, Ohio, USA

SALARY: Commensurate with NIH Post-doctoral stipend guidelines, including comprehensive health benefits and a matched retirement plan.

POSITION TYPE: Full-time

The primary aim of this research will be to utilize targeted mutations and recombinant proteins to assess the function of the novel S. oralis sialic acid binding protein AsaA, along with its homologs in other species, to elucidate the role of this adhesin in the development of infective endocarditis.

In addition to providing an exceptional research atmosphere, our institution promotes numerous professional development opportunities. Laboratory members are encouraged to engage in these initiatives, apply for grants, and cultivate their own research projects. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, a cover letter detailing their expertise and interests, and a list of three references.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Applicants must possess an MD, Ph.D., or MD/PhD.
  • A robust background in microbiology, bacterial genetics, or biochemistry is essential.
  • Experience in protein purification, microscopy, biofilms, and interspecies interactions is advantageous.
  • Candidates should demonstrate the ability to design and execute complex research experiments independently.
  • A strong publication record, along with effective communication and scientific writing skills, is preferred.

We offer potential candidates:

  • Financial backing to foster innovative ideas.
