The Sibley Lab at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on the study of the apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium, a major cause of severe disease in children in developing countries.
The project capitalises on recent advances in molecular genetics to elucidate transport mechanisms at the host-parasite interface. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to lead research building on the laboratory’s recent findings on the role of ABC transporters in pathogenesis (DOI: 10.1016/j.chom.2025.07.024) and to investigate novel pathways involved in the export of parasite effectors.
