Career Opportunities at JCVI Infectious Disease (8 Positions) The PIs did not ask me to post here, I did this just in case someone is looking for similar positions but did not see these, and I would be happy to see some chinese fellows to come. All the PIs are very nice. All listed at https://careers.jcvi.org/careers/Careers.aspx http://www.jcvi.org/ No. 1 & No. 2 Post-Doctoral Fellows Job Responsibilities JCVI is looking for two Post-Doctoral Fellows to join the Infectious Disease Group in our Rockville, MD location. The Post Doctoral Fellows will be provided the opportunity to work on several exciting projects at JCVI. The major responsibilities will include development of methods to create synthetic vaccines as well as creation of vaccine seed stocks. The areas of interest will include influenza viruses and rhinoviruses. Other responsibilities will include designing and executing experiments, analysis of experimental results/data, and training other team members. As a member of a scientific team Post-Doctoral Fellows are also expected to help develop new scientific projects by assisting with the preparation of proposals and to publish the results of their work in peer-reviewed journals. Qualifications Qualified candidates will possess a Ph.D. in virology and experience with influenza reverse-genetics, vaccine creation, and vaccine analysis in animal models. Preference will be given to candidates that also have experience with positive strand RNA viruses such as Coronaviruses or Rhinoviruses. The candidates should also have a strong understanding of basic molecular virology techniques, and/or viral evolutionary analysis. No. 3 Staff Scientist Job Responsibilities JCVI seeking a Staff Scientist within our Infectious Disease Department. The Staff Scientist will be responsible for participating in a wide variety of laboratory-based activities related to molecular virology, molecular biology , genomics, and microbiology. This position is located in our Rockville, MD laboratory. Responsibilities will include viral genomic amplification using various PCR and RT-PCR techniques, sequence analysis, cloning, and development and/or use of single reaction genomic amplification techniques that integrate with the existing sequencing pipeline. The primary responsibility will be multi- segment RT-PCR amplification of the influenza virus genome as part of the influenza genome sequencing project. Experience with isolation of RNA, quantitative RT-PCR using the TaqMan method, culturing bacterial cells, culturing mammalian cells, virus isolation, virus propagation, and virus titration are also important. State of the art robotic systems will be used to carry out whole genome amplifications and sequencing from a variety of specimens. The candidate will work in a supportive team environment and have the opportunity to learn and advance genomic methods. Qualifications Successful candidates will have an MD or Ph.D. in Immunology, Virology or a related field and at least five years of postdoctoral laboratory experience. The candidate should have strong skills in designing experiments and interpreting results. Candidates should have excellent troubleshooting capabilities and good computer aptitude. Experience in virology and molecular biology is required, and preference will be given to candidates that have experience with influenza virus, coronaviruses, and retroviruses. Prior experience with viruses that require BSL3 practices as well as the techniques needed for the responsibilities of the position are also helpful. No. 4 Post-Doctoral Fellow Job Responsibilities An NIH-funded Post-Doctoral Fellow position is immediately available in the Viral Genomics/Infectious Disease group at the J. Craig Venter Institute, Rockville, Maryland location. The successful applicant will be part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team of virologists and computer scientists studying viral epidemiology and evolution. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will be responsible for analyzing genomic sequence data to look at evolutionary trends of emerging viruses, including influenza. The ideal candidate will develop new methods to analyze data and will have the opportunity to contribute to a range of projects. Qualifications A PhD in evolutionary biology, population genetics or related discipline and relevant experience in genome biology, phylogenetics or bioinformatics are required. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong understanding of viral evolution and experience working with next generation sequence data. A strong publication record, communication and organizational skills, writing ability, and English proficiency are required. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will also be expected to present his/her research findings, to publish such findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and to participate in grant proposal preparation. No. 5 Research Associate I/II, Molecular Biology Job Responsibilities JCVI is seeking a Research Associate I/II, Molecular Biology to join our Viral Genomics group. The Research Associate will work in a team performing full genome sequencing and analysis of various viruses, including influenza viruses and coronaviruses, among others. Responsibilities of the Research Associate will include, but are not limited to: ?Carrying out routine Molecular Biology techniques related to viral genome sequencing (RTPCR, PCR, gel electrophoresis analysis, gel purification of DNA fragments, bacterial transformation, plasmid purification, restriction digests, DNA sequencing). ?Troubleshooting laboratory experiments and analyzing sequencing data. ?Presenting results and conclusions at laboratory meetings. ?Managing laboratory activities including ordering and stocking supplies and reagents. Qualifications Successful candidates will hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field. Experience in virology and molecular biology and hands-on laboratory experience, preferably in an independent project is preferred. Candidates must have good troubleshooting capabilities, excellent organizational and time management skills, a high level of initiative and the ability to work with minimum supervision, and flexibility to handle a variety of tasks and shift priorities simultaneously . No. 6 Post-Doctoral Fellow Job Responsibilities JCVI is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Amy Kistler, Assistant Professor of Viral Genomics, in the Infectious Diseases group at the J. Craig Venter Institute. The successful candidate will be working with an interdisciplinary team of virologists, synthetic biologists and molecular biologists in a research setting to develop novel, cell-free systems for the biogenesis and maturation of synthetic viral particles. Qualifications The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, bioengineering or a related field, with a strong background in biochemical reconstitution of cellular components required for eukaryotic transcription/translation, glycosylation, membrane protein processing and targeting, or secretory vesicle trafficking and/or membrane-membrane fusion. Experience with in vitro reconstitution of eukaryotic biological processes is desired. No. 7 Post-Doctoral Fellow Job Responsibilities The J.
