Postdoctoral position: Molecular fungal pathogenesis

A postdoctoral fellowship is available at the University of New Mexico
Health Science Center and VA Albuquerque Medical Center to study
Candida fungal pathogenesis using molecular biology, cell biology, and
postgenomic approaches as part of an active mycology research group.

Our laboratory is studying the secretion of virulence-associated
proteins in C. albicans, identification of novel secretory proteins
involved in pathogenesis, biofilm formation in secretory mutants,
antifungal strategies against fungal biofilms, and high-throughput
screening to identify novel compounds against specific C. albicans drug
targets.

Ph.D in biological sciences and a strong research background,
preferably in yeast cell biology, fungal or plant pathogenesis, and/or
genomics and proteomics, is required. Must be talented, have the
ability to work independently and be highly motivated. The University
of New Mexico Health Science Center and the Albuquerque VA Medical
Center is an equal opportunity employer.
