The Postdoctoral researcher will conduct experiments to characterize novel compounds for re-sensitizing multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria to traditional antibiotics to improve human and animal health. Studies will involve examining efficacy of novel compounds that restore drug sensitivity to resistant Gram-negative bacterial strains in ex vivo and in vivo infection models. Also, studies will aim to characterize host-microbe interactions following treatment with novel antibiotic adjuvants and antibiotics in a model of skin infection.

Education and Experience: Ph.D. in Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or other relevant fields.

Skills: A background in in vivo models and anti-microbial characterization. Previous experience with preclinical models and molecular imaging in vivo are ideal.
