HIV Research Program - Post-Doctoral Fellow

A Post-Doctoral Fellow position for a highly-motivated researcher is available in one of our extremely productive laboratories within the HIV Research Program at The Wistar Institute. Wistar is home to one of the most productive HIV research programs in the nation, focused on studying the immunological and virological determinants of HIV persistence and immunopathogenesis (https://wistar.org/research-discoveries/vaccine-immunotherapy-center/hiv-research-program). Wistar HIV researchers are part of the Penn CFAR (Center for AIDS Research), one of 19 NIH-funded HIV research centers located at academic and research institutions throughout the United States. The Penn CFAR facilitates interdisciplinary collaborations among basic and clinical HIV and AIDS investigators at the University of Pennsylvania, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and The Wistar Institute. The Wistar HIV research program also leads the Martin Delaney Collaboratory Program, BEAT-HIV, focused on advancing the HIV cure agenda through both basic and clinical studies. The collaborative team includes more than 60 members worldwide from academia and industry.

The preferred candidate is a recent Ph.D. recipient with a background in one or more of the following: translational research (working with human clinical specimens), flow cytometry, mouse models, immunology, and/or molecular biology. Experience with HIV research or glycobiology is a plus. Strong candidates will have at least one-two publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals.

Interested applicants should e-mail their CV along with a cover letter briefly describing their research accomplishments and current research interests to Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen, (mmohsen@wistar.org).

The Wistar Institute is located in the University City area of Philadelphia, in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania Campus. Wistar provides resources to its faculty and staff that enable them to conduct cutting-edge collaborative research and provides for outstanding intellectual environments and state-of-the-art facilities. Research discoveries conducted at Wistar have led to the development of vaccines; the identification of genes associated with cancers; and the development of many other significant research technologies and tools.

We offer an excellent benefits package.
