>ATTENTION THOSE INTERESTED IN ARTHROPOD-BORNE INFECTIOUS DISEASES
>I am seeking to recruit a post-doctoral level research
>associate/visiting scientist to work on a functional genomics/proteomics
>project with the salivary glands of 2 arthropod disease vectors: the
>sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis (a vector for Leishmania) and Ixodes
>scapularis (North American vector for Lyme disease).  The work would
>principally involve screening expressed salivary gland proteins for
>immuno-modulatory activity using high-throughput assay systems.  In
>addition, the project will also require expression of salivary gland
>genes in mammalian cells and other systems.  The ultimate goal of this
>project is to identify salivary gland genes that may be used as vaccine
>targets for the pathogens these arthropods transmit.  Therefore, the
>ideal person for the project should be trained in immunology and
>molecular biology, but should have a broad interest in infectious
>disease and vector-borne disease in particular.  However, should the
>candidate have training in only one of the disciplines (immunology or
>molecular biology), preference will be given to candidates who
>demonstrate a strong commitment to learning the other field.
>  The project is already in progress and thus the position is available
>immediately.  If interested, I encourage you to contact me by e-mail and
>to provide a curriculum vitae and letters from three references.  I
>would also be most happy to answer any questions you might have about
>the project.
