Kalpana Laboratory in the Department of Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is seeking to fill a post-doctoral position immediately. Highly motivated PhDs are needed to take part in exciting HIV/AIDS projects. Kalpana laboratory is investigating role of SWI/SNF complex, specifically focusing on the role of INI1/SMARCB1 in HIV-1 replication and has begun investigations into SARS-CoV-2. Solving the INI1/SMARCB1 integrase-binding domain structure has shed novel insights into RNA biology, HIV-1-INI1/SMARCB1 interactions and on the development of novel anti-HIV-1 therapeutic strategies. In addition, Kalpana laboratory is using single-cell and single-molecule RNA-FISH and single cell RNA-seq studies to investigate the regulation of HIV-1 latency and role of INI1/SMARCB1 on HIV-1 transcriptional, post-transcription late events in viral replication. The individuals to be appointed will have the opportunity to spearhead these exciting projects designed to unravel the molecular mechanisms of HIV replication/HIV latency/SARS CoV-2 replication using molecular biology, Biochemistry, Virology, structural biology and cell biology approaches. Also, please note that NY state has one of the lowest COVID-19 positivity rating!
Please email Dr. Ganjam V. Kalpana ganjam.kalpana@einsteinmed.org The candidates should have a PhD in Virology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry or a closely related field. Applicants with additional qualifications in biochemical and genetic techniques, CRISPR/Cas9 technology are also encouraged to apply. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information.
