PostDoc position : Saeij Lab, Davis, California, USA 

The Saeij lab (https://saeijlab.faculty.ucdavis.edu/) at the University of California, Davis, is currently looking for several postdoctoral scholars to work on NIH-funded projects investigating Toxoplasma-host interactions. These projects are following up on Toxoplasma CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screens that we have performed in vivo in mice and in vitro in interferon-gamma stimulated murine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36916910/, rat, and human cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33067458/. We are looking for team players that are excited about studying host-parasite interactions. Previous experience with molecular biology and biochemistry is a plus. The Veterinary School at UC Davis is ranked as the best in the country and we are surrounded by colleagues working on host-microbe interactions (https://health.ucdavis.edu/medmicro/microbialresearch/microbial_affiliated_faculty.html). UC Davis is located in the town of Davis, which is ranked as one of the best towns to live in in the nation. Davis is close to San Francisco, Sacramento, the Napa/Sonoma wine country and the Lake Tahoe ski area. UC Davis offers excellent benefits and multiple opportunities for professional development for postdocs (see https://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/postdoctoral). Interested candidates can submit a current C.V. and names of three references to: Dr. Jeroen Saeij (Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.
