Job Type
Full-time
Description
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Binhua (Julie) Ling to study HIV persistence and cure strategies using translational preclinical models and advanced immunological and virological approaches. Research focuses on viral reservoirs, mechanisms of viral rebound, and development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at achieving durable viral remission. Additional interests include HIV-associated comorbidities, substance use disorders, aging and microbiome interactions.
The postdoctoral scientist will work closely with Dr. Ling, members of the research team, and national and international investigators in a highly collaborative research environment. The position provides opportunities to develop independent research skills and gain training in advanced virological, immunological, and translational research approaches within the outstanding multidisciplinary research environment at Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
