PostDoctoral Fellow (Mechanisms of Retinoid Metabolism in the Retina) at National Eye Institute, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area


The National Eye Institute, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
POST: PostDoctoral Fellow (Mechanisms of Retinoid Metabolism in the Retina)
A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the Molecular Mechanisms Section, Laboratory of Retinal Cell & Molecular Biology, National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), to study the biochemical mechanisms of retinoid metabolism and isomerization in the retina/retinal pigment epithelium. The Molecular Mechanisms Section conducts exciting research into retinoid/carotenoid metabolism, and derangements thereof in blindness, with a long record of achievement in this area. Our focus is on the vitamin A visual cycle that provides the 11-cis retinal chromophore essential for vision (For more information please see http://www.nei.nih.gov/intramural/mol_mech_sec.asp ) .
Our overall goal is a better understanding of vitamin A and its metabolites in vision and in retinal degenerations, and in developing therapies to treat derangements of retinoid metabolism. Current projects include structural studies on the enzymatic mechanism of RPE65/retinol isomerase, analysis of RPE65 knockin mouse models to understand chromophore requirements for photoreceptor viability, and the biochemistry of bisretinoid accumulation in retinal diseases. We have access to a wide range of NEI core facilities, including biological imaging, genetic engineering, visual function, mass spectrometry, bioinformatics resources, etc., and to additional expertise at the NIH Bethesda campus. Training will be provided as required.
REQUIREMENTS:
We are seeking well-trained applicants with a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D., and a strong background in biochemistry or chemistry, and/or molecular biology, and less than 5 years of postdoctoral experience in cognate areas of research. The candidate must be highly motivated and have excellent verbal/written communications and organizational skills. Prior experience in mass spectrometry methods is a plus.
TO APPLY:
Please send CV and bibliography, a summary of research accomplishments, description of research interests and career goals, and the names and addresses of three references to: Dr. T. Michael Redmond by email at redmond@helix.nih.gov  .

POST: PostDoctoral Fellow(Health and Ecosystems: Analysis of Linkages)
The Gund Institute for Ecological Economics seeks a postdoctoral researcher to develop rigorous and practical models linking ecosystem changes with changes in human health. The position is part of a new international consortium, comprising more than 25 universities and NGOs, to analyze and quantify relationships between the state of ecosystems and public health. This "Health & Ecosystems: Analysis of Linkages" (HEAL) project aims both to understand these relationships better and to inform conservation and public health decisions with our findings. The 3-year position will be directed by Taylor Ricketts at The University of Vermont and co-advised by Sam Myers, Research Scientist at Harvard's School of Public Health.
The postdoctoral researcher will: assess existing empirical and modeling efforts at the interface of ecosystem services and human health; identify promising ecosystems and health outcomes to focus on; and develop and test models linking ecosystem change with changes in human health. The post-doctoral researcher will interact closely with Dr. Myers and other HEAL members, as well as with the Natural Capital Project, another university-NGO partnership focused on mapping and modeling ecosystem services (www.naturalcapitalproject.org).
REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants must have a doctoral degree in ecology, economics, public health, epidemiology, or related fields by June 2012. Successful candidates will have strong quantitative skills, broad expertise in analyzing social-ecological systems, specific experience in ecological and/or public health modeling, and a commitment to connecting research to real-world issues.
TO APPLY:
Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Taylor Ricketts, Director, Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, at taylor.ricketts@uvm.edu  . Review of applications will begin on April 2, 2012 and we anticipate a start date of summer 2012.
The University of Vermont is located in Burlington, between the Green and Adirondack Mountains and on the shores of Lake Champlain. The Gund Institute is a transdisciplinary environmental research center involving 20 Faculty Fellows, visiting scholars, and graduate students (www.uvm.edu/giee/ ). Related efforts at UVM include a university-wide research initiative in Complex Systems and a growing campus-wide collaboration on ecosystem-health interactions.

PostDoctoral fellow (Activation and Evasion of Innate Immunity by RNA Viruses) at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rocky Mountain Labs, Hamilton, MT


National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rocky Mountain Labs, Hamilton, MT
POST: PostDoctoral fellow (Activation and Evasion of Innate Immunity by RNA Viruses)
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.
