An expanding vaccine development research program is focused on the design, construction and evaluation of recombinant attenuated Salmonella antigen and DNA vaccine delivery vaccines to induce mucosal, systemic and/or cellular immune responses as appropriate, to confer protection to animals and humans to a diversity of bacterial, viral and parasite pathogens. We have, at present, five to six positions for postdoctoral investigators with a strong motivation to reducing global morbidity and mortality due to human infectious diseases and/or in preventing animal diseases and ensuring safety of animal food products. Young scientists who possess exceptional talents as innovative, self-reliant research investigators and have demonstrated evidence of research productivity are encouraged to apply. Individuals with a diversity of relevant backgrounds in microbiology, viral and/or microbial pathogenesis, molecular biology, immunology, and animal science and with computer skills are desired. Salary commensurate with years of experience.
