Postdoctoral position: Mobile, phage-related staphylococcal pathogenicity islands

The Novick lab at the NYU School of Medicine is seeking a post-doctoral trainee. The project involves studying conversion of highly mobile, phage-related staphylococcal pathogenicity islands into antibacterial agents. Work involves gene cloning, preparation and purification of phage-like particles, followed by testing for function in vitro and for treatment of experimental infections in mice. The project is described in the following article.
