To apply, please email Iain with a brief description of your interests, a CV, and the names of three references.
Postdoc – Single cell profiling of HIV-infected cells
Description: Our lab aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that control HIV latency. Specifically what, if any, are the unique properties of CD4 cells that harbor replication competent HIV provirus during long term antiretroviral therapy (ART). We have developed a unique method to detect and sort HIV+ cells using ultra-high throughput droplet microfluidics. We seek a talented postdoctoral researcher to further improve and apply this method to study HIV latency ex vivo.
Qualifications: The ideal candidate is a molecular virologist, hypothesis-driven, and interested in single-cell sequencing methods.
Demonstrated expertise in molecular biology and sequencing is required.
Additional experience in some of the following areas is preferred:
- HIV biology, virology or immunology
- Droplet microfluidics
- Single cell sequencing
- Bioinformatics
Postdoc – Profiling the cell-cell interactome
Description: We are developing tools to map cellular interactions and the ligand-receptor pairs that govern these interactions at massive scale. We seek a talented postdoctoral researcher to further develop and apply these approaches,
Qualifications: The ideal candidate is a molecular biologist, immunologist, or neurologist interested in high throughput characterization of cellular interactions.
Demonstrated experience working with mice is required.
Additional experience in the following areas is desired:
- Molecular Biology
- Immunology
- Sequencing methods
Research Staff – Research Specialist (BS/MS level)
Description: Our lab develops new microfluidic and molecular methods that generate large scale Illumina sequencing data. We are seeking a creative and driven early-career researcher to support ongoing experimental work.
Qualifications: The ideal candidate has molecular biology experience and has worked with Illumina sequencing data.
- Cloning, molecular biology, sequencing workflows
- Cell culture, iPSC culture preferred.
