Postdoctoral Fellow; IMET

NIH-Funded Research Opportunities in the Chatterjee Laboratory

The Chatterjee Laboratory at the University of Maryland,Baltimore is seeking two Postdoctoral Fellows to join anNIH-sponsored research program investigating the mechanistic basisof antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and itsrole in bacterial pathogenesis.

These positions offer opportunities to address fundamental and clinically important questions in bacterial pathogenesis andantimicrobial resistance while collaborating with leadinginvestigators in the field. Successful candidates will develop independent research projects commensurate with their experience and expertise, with the expectation that these projects will leadto peer-reviewed publications.

• Molecular mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance inMRSA
• The relationship between antibiotic resistance and bacterialpathogenesis
• Novel determinants of host-pathogen interactions
• Mechanisms that contribute to bacterial adaptation andsurvival
