Job Description Salary: $74,692 Department: Microbiology Physical work location: 1468 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10029 Name PI or Supervisor: Jeffrey Johnson, PhD Web link to Lab: Web link to Department: Administrative Contact: Molly Deroy, Qualifications Technical Duties: + Flow-cytometry + ELISA + WB + ELISPOT + qPCR + CyTOF data analyses + Mouse work Educational and other Requirements for the position: MD or PhD Experience Required: MD or PhD 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).
