Postdoctoral Research Associate in Malaria Biology

The Guler Malaria Laboratory at the University of Virginia is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the genetic and metabolic mechanisms that allow malaria to adapt to and survive anti-malarial drug treatment.

Research Focus

Our laboratory is currently investigating:

  • Cellular mechanisms that drive genetic change in malaria parasites, including pathways that contribute to copy number variation and the maintenance of extra-chromosomal DNA.
  • Metabolic changes that influence parasite stress responses and survival.
  • New molecular tools for antimalarial resistance surveillance in malaria-endemic countries.

This position involves conducting single cell genomics studies of Plasmodium malaria parasites.

Qualifications

A Ph.D. in Molecular biology or a related discipline is required. The incumbent will have demonstrated expertise in molecular biology techniques and data analysis, including genomics, bioinformatics, and/or RNA-seq. Previous experience with single cell-based techniques and Unix/Linux, python, and/or R for data analysis is desired but not required.

Application Procedure

Apply online at [insert link] and attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.

Benefits

This is a one-year appointment that may be renewed for two additional one-year terms, contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance.

The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, veteran status, and family medical or genetic information.
