We offer an opportunity at a cutting-edge research laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at UMass Chan Medical School. We are seeking an energetic and well-organized postdoctoral fellow for Dr. Josué Flores Kim laboratory (floreskimlab.com) to aid in studies of how bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae build their cell envelope to grow and divide.

We encourage applications from prospective and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows in the process of finishing their PhDs or with a Ph.D. degree awarded within the past 1-2 years; having a background in microbiology, bacterial genetics, molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry, or a related field; and excellent communication skills.
