About The Position
The primary goal of this position is to advance our understanding of the eukaryotic pathogen interaction with its host using the parasite Toxoplasma gondii as a model organism. A research professional in this area will actively design and execute research projects related to the molecular dissection of the T. gondii secreted effectors function in manipulating host cell signaling. Additionally, the incumbent will contribute to and support the culture of the lab which seeks to foster an active and engaging intellectual environment. The incumbent will seek to develop a clear grasp of the historical and current literature surrounding T. gondii with an in-depth understanding of molecular techniques currently available and of the parasite biology, life cycle and host disease progression. As part of the routine experimental work the incumbent will be needed to become proficient in the routine culturing, host cell infection, and freezing/archiving of parasites and derived parasite cell lines within the lab and adhere to the standards of working in a BSL-2 facility.
