About this position
Thomas Jefferson University is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the Lab of Dr. Tyagi in Philadelphia. The position is centered on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive HIV persistence, neuroinflammation, accelerated aging, and neurodegeneration.
The lab works with cutting-edge human models, including induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia and cerebral organoids, alongside advanced genomic approaches. The successful fellow will contribute to multidisciplinary projects exploring how HIV infection, chronic inflammation, and drugs of abuse alter brain function and contribute to neurocognitive impairment, neurovascular dysfunction, and age-related brain changes.
This role offers the chance to carry out independent research in a translationally oriented environment focused on HIV-associated and age-related neurological disorders. The work involves experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, manuscript preparation, presentation of findings, mentoring, and day-to-day laboratory organization.
The position sits within Thomas Jefferson University, a major research and health sciences institution in the greater Philadelphia region with a broad biomedical research environment.
