Postdoctoral Fellow in Virus – Host Interactions
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, New York, New York, us, 10261
Job Title:
Postdoctoral Fellow in Virus – Host Interactions Job Number:
111285 Location:
New York, NY,US Job Description A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Johnson Lab in the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The postdoctoral fellow will conduct research on host cellular pathway remodeling during viral infections, with a focus on HIV-1 projects. Research projects in the Johnson lab focus on identifying the mechanisms by which host cellular pathways interact with viral infections. The laboratory applies state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies to assess pathways in an unbiased manner, combined with a number of additional tools (e.g., genomics/epigenetic profiling, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and traditional molecular and cell biology approaches). The ideal candidate will have several years of experience with the molecular virology of HIV-1, working with human primary blood‑derived cell types, and applying standard molecular and cell biological approaches (e.g., plasmid cloning, mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, cell modifications by lentiviral transduction or CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing). Candidates with experience working with high‑throughput OMICs data types are encouraged to apply, but this is not required. Competency interpreting genome‑ or proteome‑wide data using a programming environment (e.g., R, Matlab) is also a plus. Appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at Mount Sinai is extended only to individuals with doctoral degrees who seek to enhance their research experience under the mentorship of a faculty member (Principal Investigator, PI). This is a “trainee” position, and is not a faculty position. Mount Sinai postdocs are offered a benefits package that includes a subsidized housing offer. Application Deadline:
