Genetic Basis of Resistance to Mouse Gammaretroviruses
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
A postdoctoral position is available in the Viral Biology Section (VBS) of the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology. VBS focuses on factors that inhibit gammaretrovirus replication at entry or post-entry stages of the viral life cycle. Recent and ongoing projects include: 1) the identification of receptor determinants for xenotropic gammaretroviruses; 2) the co-evolution of the xenotropic virus envelope and host receptor in rodent species; 3) the origin and adaptive evolution of post-entry factors such as Fv1 and APOBEC3 in host cells that restrict replication; 4) receptor-mediated control of host range and cytopathicity of ecotropic gammaretroviruses.
REQUIREMENTS:
Interested candidates must possess a Ph.D. and/or M.D. and have less than 5 years postdoctoral experience. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and/or virology. Good writing and communication skills are required.
TO APPLY:
Send a cover letter describing research experience and interests, curriculum vitae, bibliography, and names of three references to:
