2018-11-05 22:17 来源: 互联网 作者: liuxuehr

The College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University invites applications for a Post-doctoral Research Associate position within the Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMS).

The major goals of the laboratory research program and this position are:

(1) to design and to evaluate immunogenicity of novel antigens that can elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 and influenza virus

(2) to characterize biochemical and structural properties of antigens in order to facilitate better understanding of their immunogenicity and subsequent structure-based immunogen design

(3) to develop novel antigen-delivery platforms for inducing potent humoral immunity.

The candidate will acquire additional knowledge and training while being involved in various aspects of vaccine research and development, including structure-based immunogen design, molecular cloning and production of immunogens, immunization of small laboratory animals (e.g. mice and rabbits), and evaluation of antibody responses through serum analyses (e.g. ELISA, ELISPOT, FACS and neutralization assays), next-generation sequencing of polyclonal sera, hybridoma production, and molecular cloning and production of monoclonal antibodies. The successful candidate will gain experience in applying molecular biology, viral immunology, and biotechnology towards viral vaccine research and development and will be trained in using the latest tools and techniques in translational biomedical research for developing preventive vaccines against human and animal diseases, useful in preparing them for an independent career. The candidate will also be involved in training junior laboratory members (technicians, graduate and undergraduate students). This training will provide valuable experience in organization and leadership. This person will also continue to build skills while writing manuscripts for publication and assist in writing grant proposals.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated and possess the ability to work both independently and collaboratively both within the laboratory and with outside associates. The ability to communicate well orally and in writing is also essential for this position.

Required Education and Experience

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Virology, Microbiology, Immunology or other related field

Experience with Biosafety Level 2 and mammalian cell culture

Preferred Education and Experience

Experience with viruses (especially HIV-1 and/or influenza) using a variety of molecular biology, biochemistry and immunological techniques including PCR, molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression in prokaryotes and/or insect or mammalian cells, and protein purification, as well as immunoassays (ELISA, Western blot, ELISPOT, FACS)

Experience and working knowledge with SPR analyses and next-gen sequencing

Experience working with animals (injections, bleeding)
