Job Description:
Virus-Insect interactions in the insect midgut
A postdoctoral position is available at the Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University, for a highly motivated scientist to study virus-insect interactions in insect midgut epithelial cells. The project will utilize next-generation sequencing approaches to study transcriptome responses and regulation in virus-infected lepidopteran midgut cells. The project is expected to contribute to a basic understanding of permissive and non-permissive virus-insect interactions in the insect gut, with particular emphasis on and relevance to insect midgut transcriptional responses to baculovirus infection, and viral pathogenesis of agriculturally-important insect pest species.
Skills : Candidates must have a Ph.D. in molecular or cell biology, virology, genetics, or a related discipline, be self-motivated, have excellent communication and organizational skills. Solid molecular biology skills are necessary, and basic experience with, or strong interests in molecular virology, global gene expression analysis, and/or bioinformatics are desirable. Please send a letter describing research experience and interests, a current CV, and names and contact information of three professional references to Dr. Gary Blissard at gwb1@cornell.edu. Consideration of applications will begin immediately. The Boyce Thompson Institute is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer committed to multicultural diversity.

Location : The Boyce Thompson Institute and Cornell University comprise a competitive and vibrant scientific environment with a large and strong life sciences community, and state-of-the-art facilities for genomics, proteomics, imaging, bioinformatics, etc. There are abundant opportunities for training and collaboration with experienced local scientists. The campus is one of the most beautiful in the country and overlooks scenic Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of Central New York, an environment of spectacular lakes, waterfalls, gorges, rolling hills, farmland, vineyards, and state parks. The Ithaca community is culturally diverse with excellent theater, music, sports, and an abundance of outdoor activities.
