Description

A postdoctoral researcher position is available immediately to study cellular adhesion mechanisms contributing to the infection of mammalian cells by herpes simplex virus. This study involves aspects of cell biology related to intercellular adhesion and junctions as well as molecular aspects of viral interactions with cell receptors during entry. This research relies on multiple approaches including live cell confocal microscopy, protein purification, FACS and infection assays. For more information and a list of publications, please visit: http://www.med.upenn.edu/camb/faculty/mv/krummenacher.html

Applicants for this position should have a strong background in cell and molecular biology and/or in virology. Candidates should have a Ph.D in biomedical sciences or equivalent degree and a publication track record. Prior experience with mammalian cell culture is requested and knowledge of confocal microscopy, immunohistochemistry and protein production/purification is desirable.
