JPF08897 UCI - Postdoctoral Scholar on HIV Transmission DynamicsJPF08897 UCI - Postdoctoral Scholar on HIV Transmission Dynamics
Location: 856 Health Sciences Quad, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA 92617, United StatesJob Posted Date: March 27, 2024Academic Positions: Full-time Positions, Postdoc PositionsThe Socio-Molecular Studies (SOMOS) Laboratory led by Dr. Tetyana Vasylyeva is seeking a qualified Postdoctoral Scholar to contribute to a research study analyzing the effects of displacement on HIV transmission dynamics. This is a full-time, 24-month position with the possibility of extension based on satisfactory performance, starting on or after 08/01/2024.Background: Dr. Vasylyeva is leading a five-year study that employs a combination of social network and molecular epidemiology analysis to describe changes in HIV transmission dynamics in networks of men who have sex with men (MSM) due to the war in Ukraine. The postdoctoral scholar will assist with molecular epidemiology analyses, develop sequencing protocols, and analyze HIV genetic sequences. This project is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse in partnership with researchers at UC San Diego, New York University, and the Alliance for Public Health (Ukraine).The successful candidate will be expected to:Work independently with guidance from the principal investigator and collaborators;Develop and implement research plans;Develop and test HIV sequencing protocols;Assist with sequencing of samples obtained as part of the project;Advance dissemination of study findings for academic and policy audiences.Funds will be available for travel to 1-2 conferences and for travel to Ukraine if necessary.Conditions of Employment:Background check and live scan;Vaccination policies;Smoking & Tobacco policy;Drug-free environment.Application Process:Cover letter: Include a brief description of your relevant experience, training, and career goals.Curriculum vitae (include full list of publications).Contact information for three professional references.Two writing samples (publications or dissertation chapters).Qualifications: Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in Epidemiology, Public Health, Evolutionary Biology, or other related biological or medical sciences field. We seek applications from candidates with experience in HIV sequence analysis and Nanopore sequencing.Required Qualifications:Ph.D. in Epidemiology, Public Health, Evolutionary Biology, or related biological or medical sciences field;Experience with Nanopore sequencing;Strong methodological and data analysis skills (quantitative methods, phylogenetic analysis);Highly self-motivated individuals with the ability to conduct independent and collaborative scientific research;Demonstrated evidence of strong contributions to scholarship, including peer-reviewed publications.Preferred Qualifications:Experience conducting or collaborating on HIV molecular epidemiology studies;Fluency in Ukrainian and/or Russian;Willingness to mentor and supervise undergraduate and graduate research assistants.
