Postdoctoral Associate

A Postdoctoral position is available to study the regulation of signaling and morphogenesis in Candida albicans. The primary responsibility is to develop an independent research project focused on studying the mechanisms by which C. albicans respond to extracellular signals to switch from budding to hyphal growth. 

Research will be carried out in the Center for Yeast Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University.  This Center includes 8 different labs working on complementary aspects of fungal biology, and provides a supportive environment for exciting research opportunities and career development.  Stony Brook University is also in close proximity to the research facilities at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Brookhaven National Lab, and New York City.

Applicants should have a strong background in genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology.  Prior experience working with yeast or fungi is preferred, but not essential.  Email CV and contact information for three references to Dr. James Konopka jkonopka@ms.cc.sunysb.edu
