A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available immediately to study the role of nuclear receptors as inhibitors of HIV-1
mucosal transmission to women.
Inflammatory and ulcerative sexually transmitted infections (STIs) enhance heterosexual transmission of HIV-1. This
enhanced transmission is, in part, due to recruitment of HIV-1 target cells such as Langerhans/dendritic cells
(LC/DC), macrophages (MØ)‚ and T lymphocytes to sites of inflammation, and to direct activation of target cells by
STIs. A common feature of STI pathogens is that they encode ligands for members of the Toll-like receptor
(TLR) family of pattern recognition receptors and these ligand-activated TLRs can both activate HIV-1 target cells and
induce local inflammatory responses. Importantly, ligand-activated nuclear receptors (NR), including peroxisome
proliferator activated receptor (PPAR), liver X receptor (LXR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), have been shown to be
potent inhibitors of TLR-induced inflammatory gene expression. A major goal of the laboratory is to examine the
potential role of ligand-activated NR as inhibitors of HIV-1 transmission. To achieve these goals, we are:
 |
1) evaluating the impact of NR/TLR crosstalk on HIV-1 replication and inflammatory gene expression in primary LC, DC, MØ and T cells |
|
2) determining the mechanism(s) of TLR-modulated HIV-1 transcription and how it is regulated by NR signaling |
|
3) examining the effects of NR/TLR crosstalk on HIV-1 infection of target cells and inflammation in vaginal and cervical tissue explants and in an organotypic model of the human vagina. |
Experience in cell and molecular biology and virology is desirable but not essential. The successful candidate will
be part of a vibrant and highly collaborative community of immunologists and virologists, including a number of
basic science and clinical HIV-1 virologists. A detailed description of the Department of Microbiology and the
training programs in Immunology and Host/Pathogen Interactions can be found at

FOUR TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITIONS
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Dear Colleague,
The University of Michigan Departments of Epidemiology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Microbiology and Immunology, and Molecular and Cellular Biology are jointly seeking to fill four
tenure-track ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITIONS to build, with current microbial ecology faculty
(https://sitemaker.umich.edu/microbial.ecology), an interdisciplinary group focusing on
“Microbial Ecology: Relationships to the Environment and Human Health.”
The intent is to create an intellectual locus of microbial ecologists who use a range of genomic,
metagenomic, proteomic, transcriptomic and other molecular approaches to understand the dynamics of ecological communities of microorganisms and their consequences for human health and the environment.
Notably:
All the positions are tenure track
We are seeking individuals who are truly interdisciplinary, but whose research focus makes them an appropriate fit for one of the participating departments. Successful applicants will fill existing gaps in expertise at Michigan, and naturally bridge departments by complementing ongoing interdisciplinary research and graduate training programs distributed across campus.
A committee of senior faculty from the participating departments and other relevant units will be responsible for coordination of pertinent interdisciplinary initiatives as well as mentoring the new junior faculty. To help ensure academic success, appointment will be to one of the participating departments; however, affiliate (0%) appointments with other departments will be encouraged.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would draw the attention of any suitable candidates to the enclosed job posting.
Review of applications will begin on October 1, 2008 and continue until suitable candidates are identified for each Department.
Women and minorities are encouraged to apply and the University is supportive of the needs of dual career couples. The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
Thank you for your consideration.

Molecular Genetics and Pathogenesis of
Bacteroides fragilis
Department of Microbiology and Immunology
Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University
An immediate opportunity exists for postdoctoral research on the indigenous, intestinal tract anaerobe,
Bacteroides fragilis, a phylogenetically novel organism that is responsible for a variety of opportunistic infections. An
important virulence factor for B.fragilis infections is their remarkable aerotolerance which is controlled by an
extensive oxidative stress response. Expression of nearly 40% of the genome is modulated by exposure to oxygen and
this results in the development of a metabolic state that is resistant to a variety of environmental stresses. It
is our goal to identify unique regulatory genes that mediate this transcriptional response and determine their role
in virulence using an intra-abdominal abscess model system. The incumbent will characterize these regulatory genes
and their regulons using a range of molecular genetic approaches. Current efforts are focused on the analysis of
several ECF-like sigma factors involved in the transcription of a distinct subset of oxidative stress response
genes.
