cellular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen
interactions. However, demonstrated excellence in research is more
important than specific area. The successful candidate will be part of
the Microbiology Program that integrates microbiologists across
departmental and college boundaries. The candidate will be expected to
establish an extramurally funded research program and participate in
undergraduate teaching of general or medical microbiology, as well as
