Malaria Vaccine Research Specialist
5 days ago
This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to lead a project developing a rationally-designed vaccine against malaria.
By leveraging recent advances in genomic sequencing, proteomics, transcriptional profiling, and molecular immunology, we have identified unique targets of T cell responses or antibody responses against malaria. This NIH-funded project will test these antigens as vaccine candidates by engineering novel vaccine platforms to enhance T cell responses and assessing immunogenicity, protective capacity, and biological function in pre-clinical models of malaria.
Job Description- Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, seek and manage research funding, publish in reputable journals, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions.
- Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits.
- Citizenry and service: develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, engage in internal service roles and committees, perform administrative functions, provide support to colleagues, and uphold university values.
- Conduct high-quality research, manage research projects, secure funding, publish research papers, and participate in project meetings.
- Supervise students, manage staff, provide performance feedback, train employees, resolve conflicts, and ensure accurate compensation.
- Develop partnerships, mentor team members, contribute to university service roles, perform administrative tasks, support colleagues, and uphold the university's values.
- A PhD in infectious disease, vaccinology, immunology, biomedical science, or a related field.
- Demonstrated expertise in carrying out high-quality research, with a proven track record of professional achievement in the relevant discipline.
- Experience in mouse models of disease and animal handling.
- Knowledge of cellular and molecular immunology, including ELISA, FACS, ELIspot, and molecular biology techniques such as RNA extraction, RT-qPCR, and molecular cloning.
- Excellent organizational skills, lab management skills, and ability to work under pressure.
- Superior verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a cohesive team.
- Evidence of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
The base salary for this position is in the range $78,871.35 - $105,004.02, plus 17% Superannuation (Academic Level A). In addition to a competitive salary, you will have access to world-class research facilities, grant writing support, and opportunities for career advancement.
