A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine to join a group engaged in the study of immunity to retroviral infections. The project concerns the genetic mechanisms underlying the capacity of some inbred strains of mice to mount antiviral antibody responses via non-canonical pathways.

Responsibilities include directing scientific studies, presenting progress at routine meetings (e.g. lab meetings, journal clubs, departmental research in progress, and weekly one on one meetings with the PI), supervision of a research technician and undergraduate students working on related projects, and preparation of first drafts of manuscripts from any publishable studies. The successful candidate will have a PhD in microbiology and/or immunology and possess strong communication skills. Applicants should have extensive experience with molecular virology, immunology, and murine genetics/colony management.

The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity employer / disability / veteran.
