Job Details

Postdoctoral Scientist at Texas Biomedical Research Institute

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team studying the epigenetic mechanisms of HIV neuropathogenesis. The research also involves exploring novel neurotechnologies for delivering long-acting antiretroviral therapies (LA-ART) and gene therapeutics using a SIV-infected rhesus macaque model.

Current Projects

  • Investigating how cannabinoids modulate neuroinflammation in HIV/SIV infection through epigenetic mechanisms.
  • Developing new methods to increase blood-brain barrier permeability for improved LA-ART delivery and enhanced viral suppression.

The Role

  • Design and conduct molecular and cellular experiments.
  • Perform and troubleshoot techniques such as tissue cell isolation, DNA/RNA extraction, qPCR, cloning, single-cell/nuclei RNA/ATAC-seq, immunoprecipitation, western blotting, luciferase assays, multi-color flow cytometry, in situ hybridization, and immunofluorescence.
  • Generate, interpret, and present data.
  • Contribute to manuscript preparation and publication.

Our Ideal Candidate

  • Holds a PhD, MD, or DVM in a related field.
  • Background in neuroscience research is preferred.
  • Experience with neurotechnologies like focused ultrasound or fMRI is a plus.
  • Able to work independently and collaboratively.
