ResponsibilitiesThe laboratory of Dr. Bruce E. Torbett (is looking for a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow to work on Immune Signaling Pathways involved in HIV entry. This work aims to investigate how opioids (and other immune modulators) affect HIV entry and latency, with particular focus on signaling pathways involved in host restriction and viral reactivation. This work also includes focus on the molecular mechanisms for HIV transport through the Nuclear Pore Complex, with insights of novel host-viral interfaces being translatable to new therapeutic strategies. This work involves studies of immune signaling pathways during active HIV infection in primary cells using Molecular Virology approaches. Candidates must have a Ph. D. in Virology or related field, with documented experience (work or academic) using standard virology approaches to investigate immune-signaling dynamics.The group works as a highly dynamic and interactive team and is part of the Center for Immunity and Immunotherapies (CIIT) of Seattle Children's Research Institute (SCRI).
