　　The Pietri Lab (http://pietrilab.weebly.com) is focused on understanding insect-microbe interactions across a spectrum of medically relevant systems. We are currently seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a project that aims to develop novel biological control tools for bed bugs. Under the direction of the PI, the postdoctoral fellow will undertake basic and applied research on bacterial infections and immunity in the bed bug. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to independently perform experiments using established protocols, develop new protocols, collect and analyze data, organize results for presentation and publication, and contribute to the daily operations of the lab. Opportunities for professional development and collaboration on product development efforts with our industry partner, Apex Bait Technologies, Inc.(http://www.apexbait.com) will also be available. This is a grant funded position with funds available for two-three years with extensions contingent on performance and future funding. A PhD in entomology, microbiology or a related discipline in the biological sciences, and a strong record of research involving bacteria or insects is required. Expertise in bed bug biology, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or bioinformatics is a plus but not required.

　　The PI highly values providing training opportunities for individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation, and other cultural and social backgrounds. Interested applicants must include a cover letter summarizing research experience, research interests and career goals, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three professional references. All materials should be posted to:
