美国费恩柏格医学院病毒学方向博士后职位招聘

　　Postdoctoral Fellow

　　Feinberg School of Medicine, NU

　　Postdoctoral position in Virology/Cell

　　Biology

　　Postdoctoral positions are available on NIH funded

　　research projects to study the function of microtubule-associated and

　　microtubule regulatory proteins and their role in viral infection in the

　　Naghavi. Dr. Naghavi is an Associate Professor at the Department of Microbiology-Immunology,

　　Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago. The Feinberg

　　School of Medicine is located in the center of downtown Chicago. Additional

　　information about the Naghavi lab can be found at http://labs.feinberg.northwestern.edu/naghavi/

　　Our

　　previous studies have established how HIV-1 controls microtubule behavior to

　　facilitate infection, and the host factors involved. This includes microtubule motor-associated

　　adaptor proteins, as well as specialized microtubule plus-end tracking proteins

　　(called +TIPs) that control the formation of stable microtubule filaments and

　　facilitate HIV-1 infection. Projects will employ a range of molecular

　　biological assays, as well as a variety of fixed and live imaging approaches

　　using super resolution and confocal microscopy to study how HIV-1 particles

　　move within infected cells, including natural target cell types such as brain

　　resident microglia and primary macrophages. Our goal is to understand the

　　molecular basis behind how microtubules, regulators of microtubule dynamics and

　　microtubule motor proteins function to enable HIV-1 movement to and from the

　　nucleus.

　　Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent with strong

　　research experience in virology, cell biology and/or molecular biology.

　　Applicants with experience in fluorescence microscopy and live imaging are

　　particularly encouraged to apply. Intersted applicants should submit a complete

　　CV, a brief description of their research achievements and interests, and the

　　name and contact details for three referees to:

　　Mojgan.Naghavi@Northwestern.edu
