ISICR Job Finder - USA

Duties and Responsibilities
NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS (3) available in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with focused interest and training in Mucosal Immunobiology. Post doctoral researchers will perform directed human and animal model research projects identifying mucosal specific regulatory mechanisms resulting in disrupted cytokine expression. Current areas of specific interest include epigenetic modifications in chromatin structure of cytokine genes and the role of TL1A, a TNF family member, implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD

Duties and Responsibilities
A postdoctoral position is available immediately to study interactions between mosquito-borne viral pathogens and their hosts, focusing on on immune evasion strategies and the design of antiviral therapeutics and vaccines. Candidates should have a Ph.D degree and familiarity with molecular and cell biology techniques. Research experience in RNA virology, innate immunology, viral pathogenesis and/or signal transduction and experience working under BSL-3 containment are highly desirable. Candidates must be authorized to work in the US and will be required to obtain Department of Justice security clearance for work with Select Agents and Toxins, as required by Federal regulation. Please submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Dr. Kate D. Ryman at ryman@pitt.edu. The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to ap ply.

Duties and Responsibilities
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for studies on mosquito-borne viral pathogens in the families Flaviviridae and Togaviridae. The focus of these studies will be identification of specific cellular effectors of the innate immune antiviral response and determination of their mechanisms of action and the means by which certain viruses can antagonize and/or evade these effectors. Candidates should have a Ph.D degree and familiarity with molecular and cell biology techniques. Research experience in RNA virology, innate immunology and/or signal transduction and experience working under BSL-3 containment are highly desirable. Candidates must be authorized to work in the US and will be required to obtain Department of Justice security clearance for work with Select Agents and Toxins, as required by Federal regulation. Please submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Dr. William Klimstra at klim stra@pitt.edu. The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Duties and Responsibilities
NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to study regulation of mucosal cytokine production in inflammatory bowel disease. This project is focused on identifying mucosal specific DNA regulatory mechanisms resulting in disrupted cytokine expression. Current areas of specific interest include epigenetic modifications in chromatin structure of cytokine genes. Candidates should have a demonstrated record of significant scientific accomplishment at the graduate or postdoctoral level, and a solid background in immunology and/or molecular biology is preferred.
