A postdoctoral position is immediately available for the Hsieh Laboratory in the Stanford University School of Medicine. The Hsieh research group is studying how parasitic urinary tract infections, namely Schistosoma haematobium, leads to inflammation-mediated bladder fibrosis and cancer. The laboratory is part of a network of open research groups in the Department of Urology which share expertise and encourage scientific cross-pollination. The research group is also affiliated with the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection; Bio-X; and the Multidisciplinary Program in Immunology; university-wide programs which enhance scientific collaborations. Accordingly, the Hsieh laboratory has a number of active, independent research projects as well as a portfolio of inter-institutional collaborative research efforts in urinary schistosomiasis.

The ideal candidate will be capable of establishing independent research projects, possess excellent English communication skills, work well with scientific colleagues from diverse backgrounds, feature a strong publication record in microbiology and/or immunology, have experience with schistosomiasis models, and be a U.S. citizen with NIH or equivalent funding.
