Two postdoctoral fellowships on biochemical and genetic strategies to block
malaria parasite transmission

Available immediately on NIH R01 AI170506 with annual re-appointment
possible through March 2027

Malaria parasites must acquire essential nutrients, including pantothenate
or vitamin B5, from their mosquito and human hosts to successfully complete
their development. In published and ongoing studies, we have confirmed that
manipulation of mosquito pantothenate stores can starve malaria parasites
of this essential nutrient and be used as the basis of novel transmission
blocking strategies. The two postdoctoral fellows on this project will
complete studies in the Luckhart lab, in coordination with Dr. Mike Riehle
and his team at the University of Arizona, to accomplish the aims of the
project. A unique collaboration leverages expertise of colleagues at St.
Jude Children’s Hospital to repurpose small molecule drug candidates that
target mammalian pantothenate kinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in
conversion of pantothenate to coenzyme A, for our studies in the highly
invasive malaria mosquito *Anopheles stephensi*. The aims of the project
include biochemical and genetic strategies to manipulate mosquito
pantothenate levels to block mouse and human malaria parasite transmission,
with associated studies of the effects of these manipulations on mosquito
life history traits, stress resistance and metabolism. Interested
candidates with expertise and publications in physiology, biochemistry, or
molecular cell biology of insects or other animals are encouraged to apply.
Each postdoctoral fellowship provides $54,840 in salary plus benefits and
up to $5,480 in moving expenses. To apply, please send your full CV, a
cover letter describing your interest in the position and names/contact
information for three professional references by email to Dr. Shirley
Luckhart sluckhart at uidaho.edu. The positions are available immediately and
open until filled.
