JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: The Tecle lab in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin seeks a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The lab aims to understand innate epithelial immune responses to intracellular pathogens. To do this, we investigate the response of the C. elegans intestine to pathogen infection using genetic, cell biology, and biochemical approaches. Primary Functions Plan, design and execute complex research studies, procedures and protocols. Participate in discovery projects. Coordinate research study activities; lead and manage projects. Oversee organization, synthesis and analysis of data and findings. Prepare scientific reports, outcome findings and scientific manuscripts. Participate in meetings with principle investigator and research staff in which you will evaluate/interpret the validity of data, develop methodologies, and design and evaluate lab procedures. Maintain supplies, may require negotiation with vendors, and track purchase orders. May oversee the work of laboratory personnel including training and development as well as daily work direction, delegation and establishing priorities. Characteristics of a postdoctoral appointment: It is expected that postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of their supervisor, will: Transition to career independence through the development of professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively pursue a career of his/her own choosing. Be supervised by at least one senior scholar who actively promotes the postdoc\'s professional development. Establish an individual development plan (IDP) that incorporates equally the postdoc\'s career and training goals and the mentor\'s research goals. Pursue basic, clinical, or translational projects so long as effort is focused primarily on research. Publish results of the postdoc\'s research and scholarship during their appointment. The postdoctoral appointment is temporary by nature, the aggregate amount of time spent as a postdoc is recommended to not exceed five years (not including family medical leave or maternity/paternity leave). As postdocs are important members of the host institution\'s community, appropriate levels of compensation, health care, and other benefits commensurate with their essential status should be afforded, independent of the postdoc\'s source of funding. Preferred Schedule: M-F 8-5 Position Requirements: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in genetics, cell biology, immunology, or a related field. Experience with standard molecular biology, biochemical, and imaging techniques is required. A history of strong research productivity,... For full info follow application link.
