A postdoctoral position is available to understand the mechanisms by which natural killer (NK) cells lyse macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis (J Immunol 168:35203526, 2002, J Immunol 172:130137, 2004, J Immunol 175: 46114617, 2005 and J Immunol 2006 177:6192-8). This National Institutes of Health-funded project will involve identification of novel ligands for NK cell receptors and studying signaling pathways mediated through NK cells for the lysis of M. tuberculosis-infected cells. The other ongoing project in the laboratory is the role of regulatory T cells in human tuberculosis infection.
The successful candidate will work with Dr. Ramakrishna Vankayalapati. Several well-funded investigators are engaged in studying the immunology and molecular pathogenesis of tuberculosis at the Center for Pulmonary and Infectious Disease Control (CPIDC), working in brand-new state-of-the-art laboratories that include a large BSL-3 facility. Information on the research interests of CPIDC faculty can be found at: http://www.uthct.edu/CPID/FacultyandStaff.htm
Application
Applicants must have a strong background in cellular immunology. Experience in flow cytometry is highly desirable. Please send CV to:
