Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Cliffe lab in the UVA School of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the mechanisms of Herpes Simplex Virus latent infection in neurons. Specifically, the candidate will investigate the epigenetic regulation of HSV latency and reactivation. Multiple projects are available, based on strong preliminary data, and are funded by NIH grants. The projects will inform on how the virus establishes latent infection with the capacity to undergo reactivation, in addition to using the virus to inform on epigenetic processes in neurons.
