Postdoctoral Fellow

Seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work in the lab of Dr. Paul Rowley.

The postdoctoral fellow will work in the lab of Paul Rowley to understand the basis of resistance to antifungal “killer” toxins produced by different species of fungi. This hire will use genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, and genomic assays with the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, and non-model pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast species to pursue these goals. This research will require leading the project with support from a technician and graduate students.

• Experience with bacterial and yeast genetics and physiology
• Extensive experience with techniques of molecular biology using bacteria and/or yeasts (e.g. building and cloning recombinant DNA)
• Basic computational experience (e.g. R, regex, UNIX)
• Willing and capable of doing oral and written presentations of experimental results

• Ph.D. in Biology, Microbiology, Molecular biology, or Biochemistry

• Experience purifying proteins
• A track record of mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in laboratory research.
• Experience working at BSL2 or higher
• Experience in computational data analysis e.g. use of UNIX
  -based systems, R, Python, or similar tools for data processing and scripting.

• None
