Humans have evolved to live with microbes: to defend against those that harm us, and maintain those that are beneficial. Microbes too have evolved diverse metabolic activities that allow them to thrive in a wide variety of habitats and in association with all living creatures. The result of this coordinated evolution is a spectacular diversity of interactions between microbes and the world, and a diversity of ways in which microbes affect our lives. Our expanded program is designed to train students and postdoctoral fellows in the use of cutting-edge tools to investigate the microbe-animal interface and microbe contributions to human health and disease.
The Microbes in Health and Disease steering committee at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is soliciting applications for pre-doctoral trainee and postdoctoral trainee appointments.
- Positions will be appointed 7/1/24 – 6/30/25.
- Predoctoral T32 eligibility is restricted to predocs who are currently in their 2nd – 5th year of training and will be dissertators when funding commences.
- All trainees must have an eRA Commons ID.
- Please note that NIH regulations allow T32 appointments only for U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
- The deadline for application submission is Thursday, February 22, 2024. Please visit our website at mhdtg.wisc.edu for instructions and more information.
- Your trainees should submit a single, book-marked pdf of their application materials to Allison Bauer (allison.bauer@wisc.edu) by the deadline.
