We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join the laboratory of Mirko Paiardini at the Emory National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, GA. Our laboratory is focused on characterizing cellular and anatomical niches of HIV persistence, which we use to inform immunotherapy-based strategies to facilitate viral control following antiretroviral therapy (ART) cessation. Using SIV infected non-human primates (NHPs) as a comparative model of HIV pathogenesis in combination with techniques such as high-parameter flow cytometry and ex vivo T cell functional assays, we have investigated and evaluated novel therapeutic interventions to reduce the viral reservoir content, in hope of developing a strategy towards sustained viral remission in the absence of ART. In partnership with Merck, our laboratory is a core component of the Enterprise for Research and Advocacy to Stop and Eradicate (ERASE) HIV Collaboratory.   We offer salary and benefits commensurate with experience and NIH guidelines; an opportunity to collaborate with a diverse array of academic and industry leaders in HIV immunology; a supportive environment to mentor fellows towards becoming independent investigators; and an experienced research team with a track record of publishing in high impact journals. Foreign candidates can be sponsored for a US work visa. If interested, you can either contact Mirko Paiardini directly via email (mirko.paiardini@emory.edu) or apply via the Emory Careers Portal. Please provide a copy of your CV; a cover letter detailing your research interests and goals; and the names 3 evaluators with their contact information.   JOB DESCRIPTION: - Under general supervision, performs a variety of defined research and laboratory tests and experiments according to prescribed protocols and assigned schedules. - Planning experimental procedures, coordination of research activity with multi-disciplinary teams, and conducts NHP studies as prescribed by a principal investigator. - May be required to participate in laboratory maintenance activities such as sterilization and cleaning of equipment, ordering of supplies, inventory, and media preparation. - Maintains records, files and logs of work performed in laboratory notebooks and computer databases. - Contributes to scientific communications by compiling data and recording results of studies for publications, grant applications, and conference/seminar presentations. - Employees in this classification may be required to work with, take specific precautions against and/or be immunized against potentially hazardous agents. - Performs related responsibilities as required by the principal investigator.   MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: - D. and/or M.D. with less than 3 years of post-graduate experience. - Possess at least one published first-authored manuscript in a peer-reviewed journal in the field of immunology or virology. - Knowledge of research principles, concepts, practices, and methods, including experience in independently designing and executing experiments. - Excellent problem-solving and team working skills. - Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. - Demonstrate attention to detail and organizational skills. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: - Experience with independently designing experiments and coordination of research activity with multi-disciplinary teams. - Ability to effectively communicate scientific findings, such as compiling data and recording results of studies for publications, grant applications, and conference/seminar presentations. - Knowledge of HIV/SIV immunology, animal models, and BSL-2 standard operating procedures, including high-parameter flow cytometry (FlowJo, t-SNE), tissue processing, and cell culture. - Proficiency with data visualization tools (GraphPad Prism, FlowJo, and/or RStudio).   WORKING ENVIRONMENT: - Work is performed in a BSL-2 laboratory environment and requires work with blood and tissues. - Work environment involves some exposure to hazards or physical risks, which requires following basic safety precautions. - Requires the ability to bend, kneel, and/or squat.   NOTE: Position tasks are required to be performed in-person at an Emory University location; working remote is not an option.
