job description

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP available in Virology at the University of Utah – School of Medicine. NCI/NIH-funded projects focus on EBV and KSHV RNA-binding proteins involved in gene regulation and their functional interactions with cellular proteins and messenger RNAs. High throughput sequencing, recombinant molecular genetics and proteomics are being used to determine the role of virus proteins in modulating host cell gene expression. Particular areas of interest are modulation of host cell splicing by EBV and KSHV (See Verma, D and Swaminathan, S. Epstein-Barr virus SM protein functions as an alternative splicing factor, J Virol. 2008, 82(14): 7180-8.) Additional projects include investigating the mechanisms by which interferon-induced host proteins inhibit virus replication. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to planning experiments and writing manuscripts and grant applications in addition to carrying out bench research. A Ph.D or M.D. degree is required and experience in virology is desirable. An ability to work in a team environment is also important. If interested, please send CV and names of three references by e-mail toVirology@utah.edu.

Our laboratory will be located in a newly renovated 4,000 square foot facility in the School of Medicine Building at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The Department of Medicine received over $30 million in research funding and the University of Utah received more than $450 million in grants in 2010. The University of Utah was ranked first in the country along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in creating new startup companies from research-based inventions. The University of Utah consistently ranks in the top 25 in the United States for federally funded research in public universities and awards over 2,000 graduate degrees annually.
