Post-Doctoral Fellow - Wu Lab
About The Position
The Wistar Institute has an opening for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Vincent Wu. The Wu laboratory is opening at The Wistar Institute in December 2025, focusing on understanding the phenotypes of HIV infected cells and how it relates to proviral epigenetics for developing potent and specific latency reversal strategies. These strategies include the development of HIV DNA specific approaches with targeted mRNA-LNPs. We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to work at the intersection of molecular biology and bioinformatics by using single-cell multiomics to better understand the epigenetics of the HIV reservoir.
Requirements
- PhD in immunology, cell/molecular biology, or bioinformatics.
- At least one first-author peer-reviewed publication.
- Experience with T cell immunology.
- Extensive hands-on skills in basic tissue culture and molecular biology (PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, etc.).
- Experience with next-generation sequencing.
Nice To Haves
- Strong expertise with single cell assays.
- Strong expertise with epigenetic assays.
- Strong expertise with bioinformatics (familiarity with operating within Unix systems and experience with Python/R).
Responsibilities
- Using single-cell multiomics to better understand the epigenetics of the HIV reservoir.
- Developing HIV DNA specific approaches with targeted mRNA-LNPs.
