Responsibilities
Details of Research Project:
A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the Johnson Lab in the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct research on host cellular pathway remodeling during viral infections with a focus on HIV-1 projects. The laboratory applies state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies to assess pathways in an unbiased manner combined with any number of additional tools (e.g. genomics/epigenetic profiling CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and traditional molecular and cell biology approaches). Research projects include but are not limited to: (1) investigating the function of HIV-1 accessory genes; (2) identifying novel functional kinase-substrate interactions in viral and/or innate immune pathways; and (3) identifying novel roles of ubiquitin E3 ligases and deubiquitinases in viral and/or innate immune pathways.
A successful candidate will have a recent Ph.D. in virology microbiology immunology or a related field. Experience with HIV-1 is required. Experience one or more of the following techniques is preferred: primary cell culture medium- to large-scale genetic screening (e.g RNAi or CRISPR/Cas9) next-generation genomics or mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Competency interpreting genome- or proteome-wide data using traditional programming (e.g. Perl Python C/C) or a programming environment (e.g. R Matlab) is also a plus.
Appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at Mount Sinai is extended only to individuals with doctoral degrees who seek to enhance their research experience under the mentorship of a faculty member (Principal Investigator PI). This is a trainee position and is not a faculty position.
