Job no: 228135-AS
Work type: Staff-Full Time
Department: VCRGE/MOLECLR VIR/MOLECLR VIR
Location: Madison
Categories: Agricultural, Animal, Biological and Life Sciences, Laboratory Technician, Research Specialists, Research, Scientific
Position Summary:
Kinjal Majumder's lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is searching for a new colleague to join our study of the biology of DNA viruses. There are three main projects in our lab. First, we wish to understand how infecting viral genomes localize to nuclear sites to establish viral replication centers. Second, we aim to understand how ongoing virus replication generates a localized DNA damage response. Third, we aim to understand how ongoing virus replication generates additional cellular DNA damage and genome instability. Overall, we are interested in the molecular mechanisms employed by the host and the virus to fight the war for cellular domination! Our research focuses on understanding the roles of both viral and host proteins involved in replication, epigenetic regulation and DNA damage signaling.
We want our new colleague to be a hard-working, independent thinker who loves experimental science, and seek candidates that embrace and augment our commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
