美国南加州大学分子和细胞生物学、微生物学相关领域博士后招聘

　　招聘简介：

　　博士后研究员

　　位于大学园区的南加州大学赫尔曼奥斯特牙科学院感染与免疫科的冯平辉博士和陈凯西博士实验室正在寻找三名博士后学者，以研究（1）蛋白质脱酰胺在免疫应答和肿瘤发生中的机制和调节，以及（2）病毒-B的作用。传染病中的细菌相互作用。冯氏实验室和陈氏实验室的研究重点是了解蛋白质脱酰胺在免疫反应和病毒感染等基本生物学过程中的作用，以及牙周炎的发病机制。我们将探讨疱疹病毒感染作为一个模型系统，以探讨蛋白质脱酰胺的作用，包括蛋白质组学、代谢组学、RNA测序、条件敲除小鼠模型，以及细菌和病毒在口腔感染开始和/或传播过程中的协同作用。我们的实验室是诺里斯牙科科学中心多学科、高度互动的团队的一部分。博士后研究员将在PI的密切监督下进行独立且具有挑战性的研究，并以高度协作的方式开展工作。

　　Postdoctoral Research Fellow

　　The laboratories of Drs. Pinghui Feng and Casey Chen in the Section of Infection and Immunity, Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, located in the University Park Campus, are seeking three postdoctoral scholars to investigate (1) mechanisms and regulation of protein deamidation in immune response and tumorigenesis, and (2) the role of virus-bacteria interactions in infectious diseases. Research in the Feng Lab and Chen Lab is centered on understanding the roles of protein deamidation in fundamental biological processes, such as immune response and viral infection, and the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis. We explore herpesvirus infection as a model system to probe the role of protein deamidation, entailing cutting-edge technology, including proteomics, metabolomics, RNA sequencing, conditional knockout mouse models, as well as synergism between bacteria and viruses in the initiation and/or propagation of oral infections. Our labs are part of a multi-disciplinary and highly interactive team in the Norris Dental Science Center. Postdoctoral fellows are expected to conduct independent and challenging research under the PI’s close supervision and work in a highly collaborative manner.

　　We are seeking self-motivated and goal-driven postdoctoral candidates, with a PhD or MD/PhD in molecular and cellular biology, microbiology or related fields and be skilled in protein biochemistry and related disciplines. Previous experience with metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics or bioinformatics would be helpful. The candidate should be able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment, with a strong commitment to reaching research excellence and achieving assigned objectives. Please send CV and names of three references to Dr. Pinghui Feng via email at Pinghui.feng@usc.edu and Dr. Casey Chen via email at ccchen@usc.edu.

　　The University of Southern California strongly values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity in employment. Women and men, and members of all racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
