Job Summary
A post-doctoral fellow position is being opened for research in molecular virology at the University of Utah - School of Medicine. NCI/NIH-funded projects focus on the host-pathogen relationship between oncogenic herpesviruses and the host cell. Particular areas of interest are host restriction of virus reactivation, EBV and KSHV RNA-binding proteins involved in gene regulation, virus chromatin interactions and drug discovery targeting EBV and KSHV proteins.
Responsibilities
The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to planning experiments and writing manuscripts and grant applications in addition to carrying out bench research. The job will require preparation of manuscripts for publication, regular presentations at group meetings, assistance with reports and grant applications, and collaboration with other scientists and clinicians in the field.
Minimum Qualifications
The successful candidate will have skills and recent experience with cloning, cell culture, sequence analysis, and RT-PCR. Recent hands-on experience with deep sequencing, protein expression, immunoassays (ELISA and Western Blot), herpesvirology, and the analysis of large datasets would be very helpful. An ability to work in a team environment is also important. Fluency in written and spoken English is essential.
