JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: The Tecle lab in the Department
of Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin seeks
a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The lab aims to understand innate
epithelial immune responses to intracellular pathogens. To do this, we
investigate the response of the C. elegans intestine to pathogen
infection using genetic, cell biology, and biochemical approaches.
Primary Functions Plan, design and execute complex research studies,
procedures and protocols. Participate in discovery projects. Coordinate
research study activities; lead and manage projects. Oversee
organization, synthesis and analysis of data and findings. Prepare
scientific reports, outcome findings and scientific manuscripts.
Participate in meetings with principle investigator and research staff
in which you will evaluate/interpret the validity of data, develop
methodologies, and design and evaluate lab procedures. Maintain
supplies, may require negotiation with vendors, and track purchase
orders. May oversee the work of laboratory personnel including training
and development as well as daily work direction, delegation and
establishing priorities. Characteristics of a postdoctoral appointment:
It is expected that postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of their
supervisor, will: Transition to career independence through the
development of professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively
pursue a career of his/her own choosing. Be supervised by at least one
senior scholar who actively promotes the postdoc's professional
development. Establish an individual development plan (IDP) that
incorporates equally the postdoc's career and training goals and the
mentor's research goals. Pursue basic, clinical, or translational
projects so long as effort is focused primarily on research. Publish
results of the postdoc's research and scholarship during their
appointment. The postdoctoral appointment is temporary by nature, the
aggregate amount of time spent as a postdoc is recommended to not exceed
five years (not including family medical leave or maternity/paternity
leave). As postdocs are important members of the host institution's
community, appropriate levels of compensation, health care, and other
benefits commensurate with their essential status should be afforded,
independent of the postdoc's source of funding. Preferred Schedule: M-F
