Postdoctoral Fellowship in Virology

From £27,513 inclusive of location allowance

Project title: HPV Latency

A 3 year postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of John Doorbar is offered to study the mechanisms that regulate Human Papillomavirus (HPV) latency. The work will make use of recently established disease models in the mouse and rabbit, along with the analysis of patient material using laser capture microscopy. The study aims to provide a molecular understanding of how human disease is controlled by the immune system and how the viral genome can persist asymptomatically in the epithelium.

The successful candidate will have a relevant PhD (or in the final stages of completion) and a background in HPV research. A proven knowledge of molecular biology techniques and a strong aptitude for the study of disease pathology is required. A specific understanding of HPV replication and its requirements would be desirable.

Informal inquiries should be addressed to Dr John Doorbar via e-mail jdoorba @nimr.mrc.ac.uk
