We have an opening for a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to characterize tumor response to immunotherapy in the Division of Nuclear Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We are a highly collaborative multi-disciplinary group that loves to develop novel tools for non-invasive visualization and quantification of biological processes in vivo. For recent research please refer to:

Postdoctoral Fellowships in
Viral Oncology

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Postdoctoral positions are available in the Viral Oncology Program of
the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Department of Oncology for highly
motivated postdoctoral fellows to undertake research on molecular interactions
and biological activities of interferon regulatory factor and interleukin-6 homologues
(vIRFs, vIL-6) encoded by Kaposi’s sarcoma- and primary effusion
lymphoma-associated human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8).  The projects will involve a variety of
molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemical approaches to identify and
characterize vIRF- and vIL-6-related interactions and complexes and their
contributions to HHV-8 latent and productive infection.  Experience in molecular biology and tissue
culture and the ability to design and conduct experiments independently are
essential for the available positions; postdoctoral fellows will be expected to
participate fully in project development.  Applications (including cover letter, CV, and
contact information for three references) and enquiries should be addressed to
Dr. John Nicholas (nichojo@jhmi.edu).
