Postdoctoral Associate – Bhaduri-McIntosh Lab - University of Florida
The Bhaduri-McIntosh lab at the University of Florida, U.S.A., is seeking a motivated post-doctoral candidate to investigate novel components of the cellular DNA replication machinery driven by the cancer-causing Epstein-Barr virus. This research employs standard molecular biology, immunology, genetic, biochemical approaches, as well as cutting-edge techniques such as DNA fiber analysis, mass spectrometry, and iPOND. The lab offers a highly supportive environment with opportunities for collaboration and rigorous mentoring to support individual career development.
The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, demonstrate a strong work ethic, and have a record of creativity in prior publications.
Responsibilities:
Design and develop research projects in collaboration with the Principal Investigator.
Lead at least two independent research projects simultaneously, alongside collaborative efforts.
Conduct experiments using techniques such as qPCR, RT-qPCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation, cloning, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, FACS, virus mutagenesis, proximity ligation assays, iPOND, DNA molecular combing, mass spectrometry, transcriptomics, and CRISPR-Cas9. Collect and analyze data.
Maintain cell cultures and biological stocks.
Keep detailed lab records, both digital and hard copy.
Test, optimize, troubleshoot, and update protocols for new and existing techniques.
Guide and train undergraduate and graduate students.
Prepare scientific manuscripts for publication and grant applications.
Maintain laboratory equipment and manage supplies.
Present research findings at meetings and conferences.
Education and Experience Requirements:
Ph.D. in a relevant field.
Strong interest in research with excellent analytical, oral, and written communication skills.
At least two first-author peer-reviewed publications in English-language journals.
Experience in mammalian cell culture and techniques such as qPCR, RT-qPCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation, cloning, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence microscopy, and Western blotting.
Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Familiarity with programming languages is a plus.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in virology, mass spectrometry, transcriptomics, CRISPR-Cas9, and protein purification.
The American Society for Virology encourages information exchange and collaboration among virologists.
