Several postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Victor J. Torres in the new Department of Host-Microbe Interactions at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The Torres lab is interested in dissecting the complex interactions between pathogenic bacteria and the mammalian host.

Our ultimate goal is to understand the basic principles of bacterial pathogenesis as well as to develop a platform for the discovery of targets that could be exploited for the generation of much-needed therapies. Minimum Education We are looking for PhDs with strong background in microbial genetics, molecular biology, microbial pathogenesis, or immunology. Minimum Experience Expertise in genomics, host-pathogen interaction, and/or host response to infection is highly desirable.
