Position Detail

Cellular Host Responses to Oncogenic and Pandemic Viral Infections

Department	Pathology, Microbiology, Immunology
Full Description	Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the Karijolich laboratory at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The laboratory is within the Departments of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology (PMI), and Biochemistry. We are also affiliated with the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC), Vanderbilt Center for Immunobiology (VCI), and the Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology, and Inflammation (VI4). Our laboratory is broadly interested in the molecular biology of oncogenic viruses as well as those with pandemic potential. Recent areas of focus have included double-stranded RNA-induced antiviral immunity, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, RNA modification and structure, and in vivo antiviral and antitumor mechanisms. Our work is multidisciplinary and combines Virology, Immunology, RNA biochemistry, genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens, and high-throughput sequencing and proteomic approaches. The laboratory is well funded with grants from the National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, and Pew Charitable Trusts Foundation.
Application Details	Candidates must have or plan to have a Ph.D. and should possess expertise in molecular and cellular biology. Applicants with experience processing and analyzing high-throughput sequencing data are strongly encouraged to apply, as are applicants with experience working with in vivo cancer and infection models. To apply, please send CV, brief statement of research experience/interests and contact information for professional references.
