Postdoctoral Research in Viral Assembly - University of Minnesota

Postdoctoral

Description:

Postdoctoral Fellows are sought to join an interdisciplinary research team (Profs. Louis Mansky and Joachim Mueller) that is focused on the application of quantitative fluorescence imaging technologies (e.g., TIRF, PALM, FCS) for ongoing studies of human retrovirus (HIV & HTLV) particle biogenesis.

Successful recruits will acquire extensive training in quantitative fluorescence imaging, and will join a strong interactive, collaborative and collegial research environment. For more info, see https://www.minneapolis.org/visitor-information/

The Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) serves as the nexus for the virologyresearch community at the University of Minnesota and provides an outstanding research environment for postdoctoral study. For more info, see: https://www.virology.umn.edu

Skills:

Postdoctoral Fellowships recited will be engaged in state-of-the-art fluorescence imaging technologies that are directed at addressing fundamental questions relevant to how enveloped virus assembly occurs at the plasma membrane. An interest and aptitude in mastering quantitative fluorescence imaging technologies and applying them to the key questions under study is expected.

Notes:

A robust career development program will be individually crafted for each postdoctoral fellow, which will emphasize not only research excellence, but also acquiring excellence in other skill sets to enhance successful job placement following the completion of their postdoctoral studies. An individualized Development Plan (IDP) will be utilized to help chart progress, celebrate achievements, and address deficiencies. A key objective is to ensure that Postdoctoral Fellows are well prepared to compete in the job market, including positions as an independent investigator.
