Postdoctoral Position

Role of Gut Microbiota in Shaping Severity of Malaria

A postdoctoral fellow position, supported by an NIH R01 grant, is available starting immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Nathan W. Schmidt, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Louisville, Louisville KY. The research focus is on malaria pathogenesis. In particular, we are interested in understanding how gut microbiota modulates the host immune response to Plasmodium, using the murine model of malaria with a goal of extending these studies to humans.

The position is for an entry-level, or experienced, postdoctoral fellow position. The main objective of this position is to determine the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota determines susceptibility to severe malaria. The position will have a mentor.

Experience and background in one or more of the following: cellular immunology, flow cytometry, animal models and microbial community analysis via next-generation sequencing, is highly desired. In addition, the applicant should be self-motivated, hard working, a model lab citizen, and willing to work with flexible hours.
