The Mycobacteria Research Laboratories (MRL) at Colorado State University are seeking postdoctoral fellows to conduct research on mycobacterial diseases and pathogens. Expertise in molecular biology, protein, lipid and carbohydrate biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, enzymology, metabolomics, genomics, animal models of disease, immunology and/or cell biology is desirable. Successful applicants must be able to conduct independent and collaborative research, develop and adapt laboratory methodologies, participate in grant and scientific writing, and to assist in the supervision and training of students and research associates. Good organizational, communication (verbal & written), and computer skills are essential. Minimum requirement: Ph.D. in biological sciences or equivalent degree. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
The Mycobacteria Research Laboratories at Colorado State University provides an unique opportunity to conduct basic and translational scientific research on mycobacterial diseases. Currently, there are twenty laboratory groups that conduct mycobacterial research on a wide spectrum of topics including mycobacterial physiology and pathogenesis, tuberculosis vaccine and drug development, leprosy and tuberculosis diagnostics, the study of nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases and Buruli ulcer, and the epidemiology and diagnostics of mycobacterial diseases affecting animals including bovine tuberculosis and Johne’s disease.
Our goal is to provide an interactive scientific environment for collaborative research on mycobacterial diseases and to facilitate advanced training of junior scientists and students.
