Albert Einstein Cancer Center

 A post-doctoral position is available immediately to work in exciting research projects on HIV replication and its perturbation. Our major projects are on developing RNA aptamers directed to HIV-1 RT, Tat, Rev, Gag and other viral targets. These preclinical/basic research projects are aimed at measuring efficacy, developing optimal delivery vehicles, understanding resistance, delineating the mechanism of action, dissecting the early and late events of HIV replication and ultimately geared towards bringing the aptamers to the clinic. Individuals interested in learning more, can visit the laboratory website at: http://www.aecom.yu.edu/prasadlab/.

 

Candidates must have 2-years of relevant post-doctoral experience in molecular biology, virology and cell culture techniques. Preference will be for those interested in career development (develop independent research projects).
