Post Doctoral Position in HIV-1 biology and pathogenesis

Summary: The Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is seeking to fill a post-doctoral position immediately. Highly motivated PhDs are needed to take part in exciting HIV/AIDS projects.

Our research is focused on the viral and host determinants of HIV-1 neuropathogenesis, modulation of ESCRT complexes in HIV-1 release and the effect of drugs of abuse on HIV-1 latency reactivation. Individuals interested in learning about the published work from the laboratory can visit the laboratory website at: https://www.einsteinmed.edu/faculty/6706/vinayaka-prasad/. Our research has also been featured in This Week in Virology (TWIV) podcast – episode 567 (check out: https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-567/).

The person/s to be appointed will have the opportunity to spearhead exciting projects designed to unravel the molecular mechanisms of HIV replication and/or HIV neuropathogenesis using molecular biological, virological and cell biological methods. He/she will be able to interact with expert scientists and physicians at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine as well as other collaborating institutions.
