Positions available

[Peter Barnes]

Two positions are available for postdoctoral fellows/research associates
to work with Dr. Peter Barnes at the University of Texas Health Center
at Tyler. Five NIH-funded investigators currently perform research in
cellular immunology, pathogenesis and mycobacterial genetics of
tuberculosis, and it is anticipated that one to two additional
investigators with expertise in mycobacterial disease will be joining
the faculty within the next year.

The postdoctoral fellow/research associates will work on projects
delineating the mechanisms of protective immunity against tuberculosis,
including evaluation of cytolytic T-cell subpopulations, cytokine
production and capacity of T-cells to inhibit growth of M. tuberculosis
in macrophages. The positions require experience in standard procedures
of cellular immunology and culture of human T-cells. Knowledge of flow
cytometry and experience with mycobacteria are preferable. Salary is
dependent upon qualifications.

Tyler is a town of 75,000 people 100 miles east of Dallas, in the
beautiful pineywoods of Texas. Living expenses are low, the crime rate
is low, public schools are excellent and it is a great place to raise a
family.
