Summary
Applications are welcomed for an exciting training opportunity to uncover mechanisms of pathogen exploitation of ESCRT in infected cells. Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic protozoan parasite that can cause severe disease (encephalitis, retinitis, birth-defects) in humans and animals. Considered a paradigm for intracellular parasitism, T. gondii is easily grown in culture, has excellent animal models, and is readily amenable genetic manipulation. Experience with T. gondii or parasitology is an asset but not a requirement. Candidates with a background in microbiology, biochemistry, cell biology, and/or genetics along with a keen interest in microbial pathogenesis are encouraged to apply.
Our recent work has shown that Toxoplasma recruits and exploits host ESCRT to facilitate parasite endocytosis of material from the cytosol of infected cells [1]. In the short term (1-2 years), the successful candidate will extend two active lines of investigation, namely to: (1) Further define interactions between the T. gondii secretory effect or protein GRA14 and various components of host ESCRT; and (2) Determine how a second T. gondii secretory protein functions in the recruitment and exploitation of the ESCRT accessory protein ALG-2. In the longer term, the candidate will expose an integrated model ESCRT biology as it relates to T. gondii infection and disease. The candidate is expected to compete for external fellowship support and develop an independent line of investigation during their period of training.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D., or equivalent degree. Previous experience in parasitology is not necessary. Competitive applicants will have a record of outstanding achievements and the potential for success as a leader in academic or industry research. Alumni of the Carruthers lab have successfully competed for faculty positions in academia and leadership positions in industry (Pharma, Biotech, healthcare) and government (NIH). The Carruthers lab strives to achieve and maintain a work environment that is diverse, equal, and inclusive. Applications are welcomed from all individuals regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender, political views, or sexual orientation.
The University of Michigan is consistently ranked within the top 3 American public research institutions.

Summary
The Biosciences Group at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) is seeking an outstanding PostDoctoral Research Fellow for a one year, renewable appointment. The Biosciences Group conducts research that spans anthropometry, ergonomics, biomechanics, human factors and modeling, focusing on vehicle design, occupant protection, and safety assessment. We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to participate in research related to analyzing and modeling vehicle occupant behavior and/or response in automated vehicles.
UMTRI has developed a vehicle-based experimental platform to quantify passenger motion sickness in road vehicles and a second vehicle platform that emulates partial automation and integrates multiple data channels to quantify measures of driver state and posture. Data from over 325 participants have been gathered on-road and on Mcity and American Center for Mobility test facilities. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with UMTRI faculty and staff to analyze rich datasets of subjective assessment, 2D image and 3D depth data, physiological response, thermal imaging, driving and non-driving related task performance, vehicle data, and driver state monitoring system outputs from recent studies. Applications include development of models that elucidate relationships among the factors contributing to motion sickness and quantify state and behaviors of non-driving occupants for the purpose of informing the design of automated vehicles.
