We are looking for independent and highly motivated candidate to join our active and vibrant laboratory. The primary research focus of our laboratory is to study the host innate immune response as a barrier to cross-species retrovirus transmission in the non-human primates. We employ cutting-edge and novel, innovative approaches to study the replication of chimeric SIV/HIV viruses (SHIVs) in the macaque model of HIV-1 infection. Our laboratory is tackling a fundamental weakness in the HIV-1/AIDS field that affects all downstream aspects of HIV-1 pathogenesis, vaccine, and prevention research by developing more relevant SHIV/macaque models of HIV-1 infection.
The fully-funded project available for the postdoctoral fellow is to characterize the viral and host factors that drive selection, adaptation, and pathogenicity of HIV-1 and SHIVs (Sharma et al, PLOS Pathogens 2019, Vilmen et al, mBio 2022). The project will also focus on uncovering the molecular and mechanistic basis of adaptation of SHIVs to the macaque innate and adaptive immune responses (Sharma et al, J Med Primatol., 2015, Boyd et al, PLOS Pathogens 2016). This research project is highly interdisciplinary and built on the conceptual and technical skills from multiple unique fields of research – it combines expertise in HIV-1 transmission biology, translational immunology, and epidemiology with basic training in HIV-1 molecular virology, host cell biology and characterization of viral-host interactions.

The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will serve as a member of the Office of University Interdisciplinary Programs (OUIP). The successful candidate will take a macroecological/big data approach to consider questions related to university outcomes. These outcomes may include student success, disruptive science, and innovation. Often, attempts to measure and develop programming around university and student success are largely a-quantitative. We seek a candidate who can identify metrics and model these phenomena. For example, metrics of student outcomes could include graduation rates, time to graduation, salary upon graduation or, well-being. Similarly, metrics related to disruptive science could include the number of patents produced versus the number of faculty and per capita funding. These models would be used to identify universities that are outliers in success-related outcomes for potential future case studies. We hope that this base approach could be applied to future studies on additional topics, such as resilience against the COVID pandemic and more.
The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will also receive dedicated support for their personal and professional growth. The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will receive mentorship, support and opportunities from the OUIP to develop their skills, knowledge, and networks necessary for a successful transition to the next phase of their career. Through guidance and opportunities, the OUIP will ensure their continued success both within our institution and in their broader professional journey.
