Post Doctoral Fellow in Mechanisms of Mutagenesis at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC

POST: Post Doctoral Fellow(Mechanisms of Mutagenesis)

A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. The laboratory investigates the mechanisms by which organisms produce mutations, which are being pursued by genetical and biochemical approaches using the bacterium E. coli as a model system. Specifically, we are aiming to understand the factors that determine the high-fidelity of chromosomal replication by Pol III holoenzyme complex (HE). In this project we are studying: (i) mutator mutants of E. coli whose defect is associated with the polymerase accessory factors, such as newly isolated mutator mutants of the dnaX gene; (ii) The role(s) of accessory DNA polymerases in determining DNA replication fidelity; (iii) the relative contributions of leading and lagging strand DNA replication; and (iv) the role of deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools in mutagenesis. A second main area of research is the mechanism of mutagenesis induced by mutagenic base analogs. Of particular interest is our discovery of a novel detoxification mechanism for N-hydroxylated base analogs, which has been found to be dependent on the molybdenum cofactor.

REQUIREMENTS:

Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) with less than five years of postdoctoral experience, and have a demonstrated experience in biochemistry, molecular biology or genetics.

TO APPLY:

For consideration, send cover letter, CV including list of publications, and the names/phone numbers/E-mail addresses of three references to:

Postdoctoral Fellow postition(Activation and Evasion of Innate Immunity by RNA Viruses) at NIAID, Hamilton

Activation and Evasion of Innate Immunity by RNA Viruses

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rocky Mountain Labs, Hamilton, MT

POST: Postdoctoral Fellow

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Innate Immunity and Pathogenesis Unit within the Laboratory of Virology at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories campus of NIAID (Hamilton, MT) to investigate virus-host interactions associated with the innate immune response. The laboratory studies highly pathogenic RNA viruses, including flaviviruses, to uncover host proteins and signaling pathways required for early anti-viral responses. We are also interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms utilized by viruses to suppress innate immunity. Current projects are designed to uncover novel cellular pathways required for 1) sensing RNA virus infection, 2) promoting interferon signaling and 3) virus evasion of innate immunity. Fundamental approaches of the laboratory include molecular, cellular and immunological based techniques as well as virus reverse genetics systems and animal models of pathogenesis. Studies are carried out in BSL2, BSL3 and BSL4 laboratories.

REQUIREMENTS:

Motivated candidates with a strong background in molecular biology and cell biology are encouraged to apply. Experience working in high biological containment laboratories (BSL3 or BSL4), knowledge of innate immunity or experience with reverse genetics systems for recovery of infectious virus would be an advantage. Well-developed oral and written communication skills are essential. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree and have less than three years of postdoctoral experience. Compensation will be commensurate with relevant work experience.

TO APPLY:

Email a cover letter indicating research interests and career goals, C.V., list of publications, and names and contact information for three letters of reference to:
