What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Position in Viral RNA Biology and Host-Virus Interactions position at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai?
The Pawlica Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher interested in RNA biology, molecular virology, and host-virus interactions.
Our lab studies how viral noncoding RNAs, conserved RNA elements, small RNAs, and host RNA-binding proteins regulate post-transcriptional gene expression during infection. More specifically, we study herpesviral noncoding RNAs, miRNAs, regulatory RNA elements in SARS-CoV-2 and measles virus, and RNA-protein interactions, with a focus on PUMILIO proteins and ILF3/NF90-family proteins. Approaches include molecular virology, RNA biology, and bioinformatics.
Applicants should have a strong research background in RNA biology, molecular biology, virology, or a related field, demonstrated by publications in peer-reviewed journals. Experience with methods such as CLIP and ribosome profiling is especially desirable. Recent PhD graduates are especially encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants should send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references to:
