Our employment at the present time includes ~500 teaching and research faculty, together with a similar number of technical and administrative personnel.

We seek a Junior researcher to develop an active and independent research program on important aspects of this area such as host-microbe interactions, microbial pathogenesis and microbial molecular and cellular biology.
