Postdoctoral Fellows
The Skare lab (https://medicine.tamu.edu/faculty-listings/skare.html) is currently interested in hiring Postdoctoral or Research Scientists (or Lab Managers) to study Pathogenic Mechanisms of the Lyme disease pathogen at Texas A&M University Health within the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology (MPIM). The project focuses on studying borrelial virulence determinants, mechanisms of immune evasion, and regulation involved in borrelial colonization and persistence. See recent publications for more details (Medina-Pérez et al. [2020] PLoS Pathog. 16(5): e1008423 [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1008423]; Garrigues et al. [2021] J. Immunol. 207(11): 2856-2867 [https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.2100815]; Booth et al. [2022] Front Immunol. 13: e886733 [https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2022.886733]). This position provides excellent training and career development opportunities in microbial pathogenesis and infectious diseases and comes with an excellent benefits package. To apply please provide a curriculum vitae and the contact information for three referees to Jon Skare at jskare@tamu.edu.

Undergraduate Students
The Skare lab has trained numerous undergraduate students in biomedical research. Most of these students have gone on to various professional schools after their graduation from Texas A&M, including graduate, medical, dental, and osteopathic schools, along with several other post-graduate training programs. Many of these students are now practicing physicians or biomedical researchers in academia or industry. If you are an undergraduate student--and are interested in a similar experience--please contact Jon Skare at jskare@tamu.edu.
