United StatesJob Posted Date :November 9, 2023Full-time PositionsPopulation :OtherNorthern California Institute for Research and Education (NCIRE) is the leading nonprofit research institute in the United States devoted to advancing Veterans health research. NCIRE is part of one of the world’s most dedicated and successful Veterans care communities, pioneering new treatments and understandings of military medicine and care.Make your Impact on SocietyAre you looking to make a profound difference? Join a culture of revolutionary research that is looking to eradicate HIV. A full-time Staff Research Associate I position is immediately available for a highly motivated individual wanting to apply for training in the biological sciences and virology to study the barriers to curing HIV. This position is funded and hired through the Northern California Institute for Research and Education (NCIRE) - The Veterans Health Research Institute, which is affiliated with the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). UCSF is a world leader in HIV/AIDS research and treatment. The incumbent will be working within the laboratory of UCSF Principal Investigator, Prof. Steven Yukl, on the campus of the San Francisco VA Medical Center.The Yukl laboratory performs basic and translational research focused on understanding the barriers to curing HIV, with an emphasis on investigating the mechanisms that allow HIV-infected cells to persist in the blood and tissues. Research areas include:Mechanisms that govern latent HIV infection/reactivation and the regulation of HIV transcription;Cellular factors involved in HIV latency and HIV expression;Differences between blood and tissues in the types of HIV reservoirs, their mechanisms of persistence, and their responses to therapies aimed at curing HIV;Contribution of HIV-expressing cells to immune activation/inflammation and viral rebound after interruption of antiretroviral therapy;Development and testing of new therapies to disrupt latent HIV infection (latency reversing agents, latency promoting agents) or induce selective killing of HIV-infected cells;Development of new assays to quantify HIV reservoirs and investigate mechanisms of HIV latency/persistenceIn addition, we have projects aimed at understanding the transcriptional regulation and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, the etiologic agent of COVID-19. These projects involve the implementation and development of laboratory assays to apply to samples from infected and uninfected individuals, as well as cell lines and primary cells infected in vitro. We also pursue collaborative mechanistic studies with other investigators throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, the United States, and many other countries.Training will be provided to enable the candidate to engage in multiple different laboratory projects.
