Employment and Fellowships

Faculty Position in Cancer Research

Candidates are invited to apply for a tenure track Assistant Professorship; outstanding candidates of higher rank will also be considered.  Scientists interested in the molecular genetic mechanisms that lead to cancer are encouraged to respond; those investigators studying cell cycle control or genomic instability are of particular interest.  This is a joint recruitment with the Cancer Center.

The Department is in a phase of growth and expansion with strong research programs in molecular genetics, host/pathogen interactions, and inflammation.  These initiatives are complemented by college-wide investment in multiple research areas including cancer research and human and molecular genetics.  The successful applicant will join a collegial group of interactive, well-funded and productive investigators and will be expected to establish a strong, independent research program and participate in graduate and medical student teaching.  Competitive salary support, start-up funds and renovated laboratory space will be provided; many state-of-the-art core facilities are also available.  A PhD and/or MD degree and postdoctoral experience are essential.  Applications will be considered as they arrive but should be received by March 14, 2008; applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and the names of three references to:

Dr. Paula Traktman
Chairman, Dept. of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics

  • Dr. Dara Frank - bacterial pathogenesis: genetic regulation of exotoxin synthesis
  • Dr. Amy Hudson - viral immune evasion
  • Dr. William Jackson - viral genetics, virus-host cell interactions
  • Dr. Christopher Kristich - signal transduction and antibiotic resistance in gram-positive bacteria
  • Dr. Roy Long - molecular genetics: mechanisms resulting in the asymmetric localization of mRNA in S. cerevesiae
  • Dr. Mark McNally - RNA processing (splicing and polyadenylation) in cells and viruses
  • Dr. Scott Terhune - Human Cytomegalovirus-host cell protein interactions during infection
  • Dr. Paula Traktman - molecular genetics and poxvirology: kinase/phosphatase signaling, DNA replication, virion morphogenesis
  • Dr. Li Wu - HIV interactions with dendritic cells
  • Dr. Thomas Zahrt - bacterial pathogenesis and host-cell interactions 

Interested candidates may apply directly to the faculty or to: Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Rd., Milwaukee, WI 53226. EEO/AA/M/F/D/V
