I am expanding my laboratory at the Vaccine Research Center, NIH. Currently, we are recruiting for technical support (GS-9/11 biologist, $44K-$58K, depending on qualifications) as well as for postdoctoral fellows. Note that we have an outstanding Loan Repayment Program for qualified applicants with a PhD and/or MD: In addition to standard salary and benefits, the NIH will pay back up to $35,000 per year (tax free) of medical or graduate student loans, for a period of 2-4 years. Please see below for more information on the Biologist and Postdoctoral positions, along with links to full information on the lab and the positions. mr For more information on my lab, our FACS facility, and the VRC, see <http://www.drmr.com/vrc/>. Biologist: We are seeking an individual with both flow cytometry as well as basic research experience for the new Vaccine Research Center (VRC, NIAID, NIH) flow cytometry facility. The core facility will contain an analyzer as well as two high-speed sorters. One sorter will be operational in the building's P3 biohazard facility; the other will be capable of 12-color analysis. The core facility will be located on the top floor of the new Building 40 on the NIH Bethesda campus. Duties will include routine instrument operation for other users, as well as assisting and training users to perform FACS-based assays and data analysis. In addition, this individual will assist in the development and QA/QC of reagents for the facility, including the maintenance of a 12-color antibody library. The successful applicant should have at least 3 years of experience with immunophenotyping and at least 1 year experience in basic laboratory techniques, as well as a medical technology or bachelor's degree or higher. Considering the significant amount of interaction with users, excellent interpersonal skills are required. For a complete description of this position, please see: <https://careerhere.nih.gov/CHPublic/HRShowVac.taf?&VACANCY_uid1=7271> To apply for this position, you must apply directly to the NIH as directed on this link. Do not send your application to me directly! Postdoctoral Fellows: The VRC is a newly-created center that brings together a diverse group of scientists with the goal of advancing vaccine-related research as well as initiating and advancing vaccine candidates through clinical trials. For more information, see http://vrc.nih.gov/. Postdoctoral positions are available to study mucosal and central immune responses, both in healthy individuals and in the setting of HIV or SIV infection. In particular, we are studying the differentiation pathways of T cells in response to various forms of antigen presentation, the in vivo dynamics of antigen-specific T cells, and the resulting repertoire of functional antigen responses. Our laboratory utilizes powerful 11-color flow cytometry technology (see De Rosa et al. in the February issue of Nature Medicine), as well as state-of-the art imaging and molecular instrumentation to provide a unique and unparalleled view of the complexity of the immune system. For these positions, we are looking for highly motivated and creative individuals with an M.D. or Ph.D. and experience in cellular or molecular immunology. Interested candidates should send a copy of their CV, and contact information including phone and email addresses of three references to: Mario Roederer VRC, NIH 40 Convent Dr., Room 5509 Bethesda, MD 20892-3015 301-594-8491; FAX 301-480-2651 Email: Roederer@nih.gov Qualified applicants for this position are eligible to participate in the NIH's AIDS Research Loan Repayment Program.
