组里的小蜜给发过来的email 我一会在下面贴出来。不过要说的是我是今年的新生,至于这个学校到底怎么样 我还没有真的体会过。希望有想法的同志们慎重考虑。
Postdoctoral Positions Available
Cryptococcus titan cell formation and function
Two post-doctoral positions are available in the Nielsen laboratory to study the role of titan cells in virulence of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. The projects will focus on titan cell formation and how these novel cells promote survival in the host. Opportunities for development of independent research direction are available and encouraged. Applicants should have a PhD in molecular or cell biology, microbiology, immunology, or a closely related field and a strong graduate publication record.
The Nielsen lab is located in the Department of Microbiology, Medical School, at the University of Minnesota. These positions provide the opportunity to utilize state-of-the-art facilities and interact with a diverse faculty focused on host-pathogen interactions. Further information on the university and department are available at: www.umn.edu and www.microbiology.med.umn.edu.
Interested candidates should send a CV, cover letter including statement of research interests, and a list of three academic references by email to:
Kirsten Nielsen
