The successful applicant will become an integral member of the Host Pathogen Biology team in B-7. This team focuses on investigations into the molecular mechanisms of host pathogen interactions as a means to develop novel strategies for cellular analysis, detection, and treatment of disease. The candidate will be expected to contribute to ongoing technical work in the group and should be able to work individually as well as part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team effort.</p> <h2> Required Skills </h2> <p>Strong record of technical excellence and achievement as demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at nationally recognized conferences in the areas of infectious disease and immunology. Experience in molecular biology of bacterial pathogens, human cell culturing, and generation of bacterial and human and gene-knockouts is required. Excellent communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills. Demonstrated dependability and ability to work effectively, conscientiously, and professionally in a high-performance team environment. Expertise in immunology, molecular biology, host pathogen biology. Experience working with select agent pathogens at the BSL-2 and BSL-3 levels highly preferred. Ability to work well within multi-disciplinary teams and establish effective and productive partnerships.</p> <h2> Education </h2> <p>Ph.D. in Molecular biology, Cell biology, Microbiology, Immunology or related discipline within the last five years or soon to be completed</p> <h2> Pre-Employment Drug Test </h2> <p>The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a pre-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.</p> <h2> Government Conflict of Interest </h2> <p>To ensure that you and LANL avoid any potential conflicts of interest, all current/former Government Officials must read and respond, if applicable, to the LANL Applicant Disclosure Form .</p> <h2> Contact </h2> <p>For specific questions about the status of this job, call (505)665-6406</p> <p>Candidates may be considered for a Director’s Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious J. Robert Oppenheimer, Richard P. Feynman or Frederick Reines Fellowships.</p> <p>For general information refer to the Postdoctoral Program page.</p> <p>To apply, use the "Apply" button and submit a resume, publications list and a cover letter outlining current research interests.</p> <p>Operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s NNSA</p> <p>Inside | © Copyright 2007-8 Los Alamos National Security, LLC All rights reserved | Disclaimer/Privacy | Web Contact</p> </td><td width="20%" valign=top bgcolor=white> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td></tr></table> </td></tr><tr bgcolor="#a90021"><td colspan=1 valign=top ><table width=950 height=20 align=left border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top align=center bgcolor="#980419" ><a href="http://www.scimetrica.com" target="_blank"><span class="footnote"><font color="#ffffff"> Copyright © - Scimetrica.</font></span></a></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
