Postdoctoral Researcher

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
