Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH-12906-058
About The Position
A postdoctoral associate position is available to study HIV-associated neuroinflammation and CNS HIV persistence using advanced humanized mouse models. This position is supported by a newly funded NIH award focused on targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome as a driver of neuroinflammation, blood–brain barrier dysfunction, and latent HIV reservoirs in the central nervous system. The postdoctoral fellow will lead projects using state-of-the-art humanized mouse models of CNS HIV infection to define how innate immune signaling and inflammasome activation in microglia regulate neuroinflammation, BBB integrity, and HIV latency under antiretroviral therapy.
Requirements
- Expertise in one or more of the following: HIV virology and latency, Humanized mouse models, In vivo immunology, Neuroimmunology or CNS infection, Viral pathogenesis and tissue reservoirs
- A PhD and/or MD and a strong publication record are required.
Responsibilities
- Humanized mouse models of CNS HIV infection
- In vivo immunology and neuroimmune interactions
- HIV virology and latency in tissue reservoirs
- Inflammasome biology and innate immune signaling
- Viral and host immune phenotyping in brain and peripheral tissues
- Translational testing of immunomodulatory and antiviral strategies
