OPPORTUNITIES
The Katze Laboratory
For more information: http://viromics.washington.edu/jobs.html
BIOINFORMATICS/BIOSTATISTICS POSTDOC (2 Opportunities)
The Katze lab (http://viromics.washington.edu) is part of the Department of Microbiology and the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC). Our research is focused on understanding the varied strategies used by viruses to evade cellular defense mechanisms. We employ high-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies and subsequent bioinformatics analyses to study these virus-host interactions. The Katze Lab Computational Biology team consists of a diverse group of individuals with expertise in data analysis, software development, database administration, and computer hardware and networking. We have built a sophisticated computational infrastructure to support the Katze Lab as well as our collaborators. We have an extensive collection of high-throughput genomic and proteomic data across a wide range of viral pathogens, including hepatitis C, influenza, Ebola, West Nile, SARS-associated coronavirus, herpes simplex virus, and human and simian immunodeficiency viruses.
We are seeking a post doctoral fellow to join our group to develop robust statistical algorithms to mine our large collection of proteomic data from collaborations among Katze lab, WaNPRC and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), as well as be involved in the integrative analysis of proteomic and genomic data. The specific research topic is flexible, but must be centered on our goal of gaining a better understanding of virus-host interactions.
Applicants should have a PhD. in Biostatistics, Bioinformatics or related fields and some combination of the following skills:
- Strong background in Biostatistics
- Experience with statistical programming languages (R, S-PLUS, SAS ... etc.)
- Knowledge of basic biology and 'Omics technologies
- Strong data analysis skills
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
- Proven ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
Please send resumes to Dr. Chester Ni at: chestern@u.washington.edu
AIDS Postdoc
The Katze Laboratory at the University of Washington, Seattle, has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in viral immunology for participation in our research efforts in HIV-1 pathogenesis. Our laboratory is a premier group in the application of high-throughput genomics and proteomics techniques to study the host response to viral infection, with emphasis on dissecting the early mechanistic steps that distinguish effective resolution from those that results in acute or chronic immunopathology.
We are seeking graduates with training in viral immunology who wish to learn these cutting-edge techniques in the context of studies in HIV-1 pathogenesis and in related investigations of AIDS vaccine strategies. The position will offer access to a range of ongoing projects involving both in vivo studies using macaque SIV models, as well as samples from human clinical trials. This is a highly collaborative research environment, working in association with other top-tier laboratories, with a goal to combine high-throughput genomics and proteomics datasets, and systems level integrative modeling, to understand very early events following infection by HIV-1.
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D., with a record of experience in viral immunology, and be versed in the techniques to study cellular immune responses. A research background in HIV biology or related field is preferred.
Please send resumes to Dr. Robert Palermo at: palermor@u.washington.edu
Influenza / SARS Postdoc (2 Opportunities)
The Katze Laboratory at the University of Washington, Seattle, has two immediate openings for postdoctoral fellows with strong backgrounds in virology for participation in our research efforts in both Influenza and SARS pathogenesis. Our laboratory is a premier group in the application of high-throughput genomics and proteomics techniques to study the host response to viral infection, with emphasis on dissecting the early mechanistic steps that distinguish effective resolution from those that results in acute or chronic immunopathology.
We are seeking graduates to participate in investigations being carried out by our Systems Virology Center (https://www.systemsvirology.org/project/home/begin.view). This is a highly collaborative research environment, working in association with other top-tier laboratories and using systems biology approaches to develop and systematically refine network models of the effects of virus infection on cellular signaling pathways and to uncover the role of specific viral and host genes in regulating virus replication and virulence.
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D., with a strong record of experience in viral research and be versed in the techniques to study cellular immune responses. A research background in influenza or SARS biology or related field is preferred.
Please send resumes to Lynn Law, gllaw@u.washington.edu
