Position Summary: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Department of Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics within the New Jersey Medical School. Our goal is to characterize putative ER-shaping proteins of Plasmodium, their functions in the parasite's cell biology and their effect on parasite virulence. We use tools of molecular genetics (gene knockouts, conditional protein depletion, CRISPR editing), imaging (confocal and super- resolution microscopy) and proteomics in P. berghei and P. falciparum. Candidates should have peer- reviewed publications, training in cell biology, imaging, and molecular genetics. Experience in parasite biology is desirable. Although previous experience
