Postdoc
Oregon Health & Science University/ONPRC
The laboratory of Dr. Paul Kievit has a postdoctoral position available. A major focus in our group is examining the reciprocal relationship between obesity-associated changes in metabolism & systemic inflammation and infectious diseases. Current projects study the impact of obesity in nonhuman primate models of HIV and SARS-CoV-2. All studies depend on a highly collaborative work environment within the lab, ONPRC, and external collaborators. The experiments proposed include physiological measurements of metabolism to examine glucose and insulin homeostasis, measurements of body composition, serum profiles, and microbiome analysis. In addition, there will be extensive ex-vivo analysis of organ specific metabolism (ie pancreas, brain, fat, liver) to generate molecular mechanistic data as well as transcriptomic data analysis from single cell and single nuclei RNAseq data sets.

Post-Doctoral Position in HIV NeuroImmunology at VGTI
OHSU
The laboratory of Dr. Lydie Trautmann at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in Portland is seeking an exceptional candidate for a funded postdoctoral position, available immediately. VGTI is an internationally renowned cutting-edge research group and is one of the world leaders in HIV vaccine and HIV remission research efforts.
The Trautmann Lab is mainly interested in understanding the mechanisms for efficient vs. dysfunctional T cell immune responses, dissecting the early immunological events occurring in acute HIV infection, developing new in vitro primary cell models and testing new therapeutic interventions for an HIV cure. The selected candidate will join a dynamic research team that develops research projects focused on analyzing immune responses in peripheral blood, lymphoid tissues and CNS, and will have access to unique samples from human clinical studies as well as NHP studies. The candidate will develop research projects that aim at understanding the immune-mediated neuropathogenic mechanisms established in the first days following exposure, whether they persist with ART and can be modulated by immune interventions. Work will also involve developing experiments with new tools in cellular biology, immunology and virology, to collect and to validate assays, to analyze and communicate data, and to prepare manuscript for publication.
Requirements:
Candidates must possess a Ph.D in neuroimmunology, immunology or related disciplines, with several international publications. Experience with project planning, implementation, data analysis, presentation at scientific meetings and publication in scientific journals is required.

Research Associate - VGTI
VGTI at OHSU
The Estes Lab is looking to hire a researcher for a project within the new multi-center Cascade IMPAc-TB consortium, an ambitious NIH contract designed to accelerate progress in tuberculosis vaccine development. By utilizing a variety of non-human primate models of human diseases, the Estes Laboratory works to elucidate determinants of local and systemic inflammation leading to tissue pathology, disease progression, and pathogen persistence, as well as test therapeutics to modulate the immune landscape, restore immune homeostasis, and reduce pathogen tissue reservoirs.
In collaboration with the Gerner Lab in Seattle, this project is designed to provide a spatial framework, via advanced in situ hybridization and immunofluorescent techniques, which will complement and synergize with other consortium projects. Additionally, this individual will also collaborate on other projects within the lab, including projects to understand HIV/SIV reservoir dynamics. Direct experience working on TB, HIV/SIV, non-human primate models, multiplexed in situ hybridization and protein immunofluorescence, and/or multispectral imaging is highly desirable.

Postdoc or Researcher 5 Position
HIV immunotherapy development
Description: An NIH-funded postdoctoral research position is available in Dr. Skinner’s laboratory at the University of Minnesota. The Skinner lab includes a diverse group of students, post-docs, and staff. Our lab is located in the Microbiology Research Facility that is part of the Biodiscovery District in Minneapolis. Our group is focused on the development of novel therapies to treat HIV and prion diseases.
We are looking for individuals to join us in our efforts to cure HIV. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a passion for research to join our research program. We found that HIV-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes, whose job it is to track down and kill virally infected cells, are largely excluded from lymphoid B cell follicles where HIV producing cells are most concentrated. And further suggests that B cell follicles are somewhat of an immune privileged site that allows ongoing viral replication. We are now working to develop a cellular immunotherapy to target HIV-specific CTL to B cell follicles to allow an HIV infected individual's own immune system to control HIV replication in the absence of antiretroviral drugs.
This position provides outstanding opportunities for continued scientific development, and for contributing to highly impactful pioneering translational research.
Essential Qualifications:
Ph.D., DVM, or MD with a strong research background in microbiology, immunology, gene engineering, or biomedical sciences.
Preferred Qualifications
Demonstrated publication record
Effective oral and written communication skills
Expertise with HIV, immunology, molecular biology, cell biology
Experience with gene engineering, immunotherapy and in vivo models
Experience with RNAScope, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry
