麻省理工学院感染性疾病博士后岗位

Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Position:

Postdoctoral Associates in infectious disease

Job description:

In anticipation of the establishment of Singapore-MIT Alliance in Research and Technology (SMART), we are recruiting ten (10) postdoctoral associates in the next six months to join an integrated, cutting-edge research program in infectious disease, involving principal investigators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), A*Star research institutes, and Tamasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL). The major goals of the research program are to advance basic understanding of pathogen-host interactions at the cellular and molecular levels and use this basic knowledge to develop diagnostics, prophylactics and therapeutics for specific infectious diseases.

Postdoctoral Associates will work on interdisciplinary projects in one of the following areas: i) cellular and molecular mechanisms of pathogen-host interactions, ii) immune responses to infections (influenza, RSV, malaria, or tuberculosis), iii) novel approaches to manipulate ES cells, stem cells, hematopoiesis, tissue repair and mice, and iv) nano- and micro-mechanics in the biological system.

The ideal candidates should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry/molecular biology, immunology, microbiology/virology, stem cells/hematopoiesis, or biomechanics; a strong publication record; excellent communication skills in English; and an ability to work independently as well as in a team consisting of people with diverse scientific backgrounds.

Postdoctoral associates will be supervised jointly by MIT and Singapore principal investigators. The postdoctoral associates will be based in Singapore with opportunity to conduct research at MIT. They will receive compensations comparable to equivalent positions in the US.
