The Feldman lab is looking for a post-doc! It's a great lab doing exciting research! As an added bonus, you would get to work with me! 😀
Mario Feldman@MarioFeldman919 Oct 2021
After a super productive post-doc in my lab @lenghung8825 will soon return to France. So I need to hire a new post-doc who will have big shoes to fill! (no pressure). Here is the ad. If you are interested in investigating Acinetobacter pathogenesis please apply! Please RT.
