Additional Information
This postdoctoral fellow position is in a cutting-edge research laboratory in the McKitterick Lab in the Department Microbiology at UMass Chan Medical School (https://www.umassmed.edu/mckitterick-lab). We are seeking a passionate and well-organized postdoctoral fellow to drive various projects on phage-host interactions in Mycobacteria, Corynebacteria, and other actinomycetes. These studies will focus on understanding how phages have evolved to infect their hosts and how bacteria grow and divide. A key goal of the lab is to uncover mechanisms that will facilitate the discovery of next generation antibiotics targeting drug-resistant mycobacterial infections. We encourage applications from prospective and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows in the process of finishing their PhDs or with a Ph.D. degree awarded within the past 1-2 years. Applicants with a background in microbiology, bacterial genetics, molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry, or a related field and excellent communication skills are desirable.
