Pittsburgh, United States University of Pittsburgh Full time
The incumbent will work as part of a two-investigator team conducting research on tuberculosis and TB/HIV coinfection. Responsibilities will include performing molecular, immunologic, and microbiologic assays on blood and tissues specimens from animals experimentally infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and/or simian immunodeficiency virus. The incumbent will follow established protocols, troubleshoot protocols as necessary, and collect and analyze data. Much of the work will be conducted at either BioSafety Level-2 or at BioSafety Level-3 in the Regional Biocontainment Laboratory, requiring a DOJ background check. The incumbent will assist senior researchers in developing research proposals and papers and will maintain organized records. Experience with infectious disease research, immunology (e.g. FACS and ELISPOT), or molecular biology (e.g. PCR) techniques is a plus.

One Principal Investigator (PI) who directs these studies is in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics within the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The other is an physician-scientist in the Department of Infectious Diseases at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The incumbent will communicate regularly with the PIs by email, phone, and face-to-face meetings. This position may also involve interaction with other collaborating PI's, direct supervisor, co-workers, and personnel in other laboratories.
