A fully supported Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available in the Podell Research Laboratory, within the Mycobacteria Research Laboratories (MRL) at Colorado State University (labs.vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/podell/). This position will focus on research investigating immune responses to novel candidate TB vaccines and immune pathogenesis of tuberculosis using animal model systems, advanced immunology and pathology approaches, and computational data analysis. A key component of this post-doctoral project will be further establishment of a pre-existing, yet novel, aerosol system for the aerosol exposure of in vivo models.
Requirements:
• A PhD with related laboratory experience in Immunology, Pathology, Microbiology, Cellular & Molecular Biology, or similar field
• Evidence of method development (i.e. development of entirely novel method, optimization of pre-existing method, re-purposing of pre-existing method) during/after PhD
• A strong track record of publication for the post-doctoral career stage in a first/senior author role
• Experience working with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (or similar) under Biosafety 3 (BSL3) conditions, and willingness to conform to additional training and performance criteria required by the CSU Biosafety Office
• Experience working with animal models of infectious disease and tissue-derived specimens from these animal models
• Demonstrated contributions in team-based science and leadership roles
• Must be self-motivated, highly organized, and be able to work across a number of different projects simultaneously
