Postdoctoral Research Scientist
1 day ago
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join our team in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects focused on the translational application of improved CRISPR/Cas genome editors and develop innovative target cell-specific gene delivery in vivo.
The research projects are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine the efficacy of target cell-specific AAV, nanoparticle or lentivirus-like particle delivery of CRISPR/Cas genome editors to combat infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS (NeuroHIV) and new emerging viruses. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with established novel animal models, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived microglia-containing cerebral organoids and CRISPR/Cas-mediated gene/cell therapy platform.
The successful candidate will be responsible for molecular cloning, gene editing and viral gene delivery, cell culture and cell-based functional assays, immunohistochemistry and confocal image analysis, animal handling and neurobehavioral test, and the writing of manuscripts and grants as well as the mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students in the PI's lab.
Required qualifications include a PhD, and/or MD, in the field of biomedicine, molecular/cellular biology and neuroscience, and a demonstrated commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in past experiences or a commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU. Preferred qualifications include experience in CRISPR/Cas gene editing, viral packaging and gene therapy. This is a restricted position with no set end date and continued employment is dependent upon project need, availability of funding, and performance.
