Postdoctoral Fellow�Pathogenesis of HIV InfectionThe National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Division of Intramural Research (DIR), Laboratory of Immunoregulation (LIR), HIV-Specific Immunity Section (HSIS) is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral fellow to participate in basic and clinical research in the pathogenesis of HIV infection.DIR�s mission is to design, initiate, and conduct important basic science and clinical investigations in cutting-edge areas of infectious diseases and allergy/immunology, particularly those of major public health importance. The scientific research program of HSIS is focused on investigating humoral immunity in HIV infection. There is a growing consensus that effective vaccines for HIV will require a humoral response capable of recognizing diverse isolates. The laboratory has recruited a cohort of patients with a broad and potent neutralizing antibody response to HIV. Sera and cells from these patients are being used in state-of-the-art assays for neutralization, sorting, and single-cell expansion of antigen-specific B cells and for cloning and expression of immunoglobulin genes to better understand the basis of the neutralizing antibody response to HIV. Applicants should have a Ph.D. Experience in measuring humoral immune responses in humans or animals and basic molecular biology techniques is desirable. Salary range is commensurate with experience.HHS, NIH, and NIAID are proud to be Equal Opportunity Employers
