University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Postdoctoral Associate - Avgousti Laboratory, University of Miami Miller School
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida, us, 33222
Position Overview
The Avgousti lab is looking for motivated and enthusiastic post‑docs interested in developing independent research ideas combining chromatin biology and molecular virology. Candidates should have a record of productive research (at least one first‑author publication), with knowledge and experience in biochemistry or molecular biology.
Research Focus The Avgousti lab is focused on the mechanisms by which viruses hijack chromatin. Our goal is to advance basic understanding of viral manipulation of chromatin and uncover new aspects of chromatin biology and virus infection to identify new therapeutic targets and develop innovative strategies to combat disease.
Specific Research Areas
Adenovirus manipulation of host chromatin and mechanisms of immune evasion through chromatin
Chromatin and nuclear perturbation caused by human cytomegalovirus and strategies for preventing virus propagation
Investigating chromatin as a structural barrier to herpesvirus egress from the nucleus
Drug discovery and development for antiviral or anticancer therapies
Candidate Profile This position is ideal for an individual with a strong interest in basic mechanistic discovery and translation to therapy. A record of productive research (at least one first‑author publication) and experience in biochemistry or molecular biology are required. Virology or chromatin experience is not required but would be valued.
Application Interested candidates should submit a CV and include past research accomplishments in a cover letter and areas of interest for postdoctoral work. Apply here: https://careers.miami.edu/us/en/job/R100083022/Post-Doctoral-Associate
