Postdoctoral Fellowships:

Postdoctoral Position 21
Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute. Immediate position available for a post-doctoral fellow with cellular and molecular immunology experience to study HIV/SIV immunopathogenesis and the development and homeostasis of protective, memory T cell responses in HIV/SIV and CMV infections of humans and non-human primates. Background in basic cellular immunology and molecular biology techniques is essential; flow cytometry experience is preferred. Please send curriculum vitae and the names of 3 references (with email addresses)to: Dr. Louis J. Picker, Associate Director, Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute; Oregon Health Sciences University -- West Campus, 505 NW 185th Ave. Beaverton, OR 97006, pickerl@ohsu.edu.

Postdoctoral Position 67
Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute/Located at our West Campus in Beaverton. A post-doctoral position is immediately available to study mechanisms underlying long-term antiviral T cell and B cell memory. Our research interests include; 1) analysis of virus-specific T cell functions such as responsiveness to peptide and/or cytokine-mediated activation at the cellular and molecular levels in an in vivo model of acute viral infection, 2) analysis of humoral immunity and the induction of long-lived plasma cells following vaccination with inert antigens, and 3) analysis of virus-specific T cell and B cell-mediated immunity following immunization against smallpox. Successful applicants will have a strong background in immunology and/or virology and an enthusiasm for learning new techniques in each of these fields of research. Please send C.V. and three letters of reference to: Mark Slifka, Assistant Professor, Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University – West Campus 505 NW 185th Avenue, Beaverton OR 97006. e-mail: Slifkam@ohsu.edu

Postdoctoral Position Available
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Klaus Fruh, PhD, to study host/pathogen interaction of Dengue Virus and West Nile Virus using functional genomics tools. This includes DNA microarray, proteomics, small interfering RNA screens and small molecular screens. This position will be required to perform laboratory techniques under biosafety level-3 conditions. Doctorate degree in relevant field, specifically cell biology, immunology, virology and molecular biology and one year experience.  Interested fellows should send their c.v. , cover letter and three references to: Valerie Charles, Administrative Director, Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute, charlesv@ohsu.edu.
