About this position

The University of Miami is seeking a full-time, on-site Postdoctoral Associate in Infectious Diseases in Miami, Florida. The position is based in NIH-funded research investigating mechanisms underlying HIV persistence, viral pathogenicity, and HIV-associated comorbidities, with particular emphasis on the central nervous system.

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct molecular and cell biology experiments, interpret established protocols, optimize research methods, review scientific literature, analyze experimental data, and contribute to abstracts, presentations, manuscripts, reports, grant materials, and publications. Work may involve live-HIV biocontainment, clinical samples, tissue and cell cultures, molecular assays, HIV phenotypic assays, virus production, recombinant virus construction, and mutagenesis.

Applicants must hold a doctorate in a relevant field. Prior expertise in HIV molecular biology is sought, while experience with live-HIV biocontainment, clinical samples, and molecular and cellular biology is especially desirable. Preferred technical skills include PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, cloning, protein expression and purification, electrophoresis, blotting, transfections, quantitative PCR, and related virology methods. Strong collaboration, organization, computer, communication, and English-language skills are required.

The University of Miami offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits, including medical and dental coverage and tuition remission. The application is submitted through the University of Miami Workday careers portal; no application deadline is stated in the listing.
