Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine: Postdoctoral Fellow Position
Postdoctoral Fellow Position: Multidisciplinary Study on HIV medication-associated Weight Gain and Metabolic dysfunction in Women
The laboratory of Dr. Sangwon Kim in the Division of Endocrinology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join a cutting-edge research team focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind weight gain associated with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) used in HIV treatment. This project, supported by a NIDDK/NIH, aims to unravel the interaction between INSTI-based antiretroviral therapy, sex hormones, and metabolic regulation in adipose tissues using advanced biochemical, molecular, and multi-omics approaches.
The Johns Hopkins site will lead mechanistic studies using rodent models to explore these interactions. However, the postdoctoral fellow will also collaborate closely with other sites conducting clinical studies in persons with HIV (PWH) and primate studies using non-human primates (NHPs) infected with SIV. This multidisciplinary, cross-institutional collaboration will provide the fellow with the opportunity to engage in both preclinical and translational research across species.
Prerequisites:
- A recent PhD graduate in biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, or a related field (less than 2 years of PDF). Experience in multiomics analysis (e.g Bulk-RNAseq, single nuclei-RNAseq or ATAC-seq) is preferred.
- A strong publication record demonstrating high-quality research
- Ability to design and conduct experiments independently
- Strong teamwork skills, with experience in working as part of a collaborative research team
- Excellent command of the English language, both written and verbal
- Proven ability to write scientific manuscripts and fellowship applications
To apply for this position, please email a letter of application summarizing your scientific interests and experience, your CV and the names and contact information for three references, one of which should be your thesis advisor, to Dr. Sangwon Kim (skim132@jhmi.edu).
University of Pennsylvania: Perelman School of Medicine – Tenure Track Associate or Full Professor in HIV/AIDS Research
- Description: The Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for an Associate Professor or Full Professor position in the tenure track, who has expertise in the impact of mental health on HIV prevention and treatment, including integrated treatment for substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders. Expertise is required in the specific areas of Public Health, Epidemiology, and Mental Health. Applicants must have an M.D. or Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Rank will be commensurate with experience. Teaching responsibilities will be contingent on the training and expertise of the selected candidate and may include: lectures on related topics in courses in psychiatry, epidemiology, and related disciplines; lectures to medical students and residents interested in psychiatry and infectious disease. Research or scholarship responsibilities may include developing an extramurally funded independent bio-behavioral research agenda that addresses the prevention of HIV transmission among populations at highest risk of acquiring HIV and strategies for improved treatment engagement and retention among people with HIV including new models of care that integrate treatments for substance use, mental health, and other common co-occurring conditions. They seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense. The University of Pennsylvania is an EOE. Minorities/women/individuals with disabilities/protected veterans are encouraged to apply.
