HIV Research Scientist 2/3 - Los Alamos, United States - Los Alamos National Laboratory
Description
What You Will Do
This position will be filled at either the Scientist 2 or Scientist 3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.
The T-6 group (Theoretical Biology and Biophysics) in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) invites applications for a scientist in virology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution, to begin as early as summer 2024.
Our group conducts research on a broad set of topics in global health, including HIV/AIDS epidemiology, vaccine design, virus evolution, and human immunology, and runs databases of genetic sequences and HIV immunology information.
LANL scientists in the T-6 group working in these areas include Brian Foley, Jennifer Mamrosh, Will Fischer, Kshitij Wagh, Alan Perelson and Thomas Leitner.
We collaborate actively with our colleagues throughout the laboratory and around the world.
The HIV Databases at LANL are funded by the NIH/NIAID to curate HIV genetic sequence information, information on host immune system responses to the viruses, and to create and provide analysis tools and software to the global HIV/AIDS research community.
We anticipate that the successful candidate will assume a co-PI role of the HIV Databases, bringing expertise in sequence analysis and molecular evolution to our HIV sequences database.
LANL's HIV Databases have been funded continuously since 1991 and are currently funded through 2028.Scientist 2 $101,700 - $168,200
A Scientist 2 in this position would support the HIV Database team in maintaining their current work and analysis for the global HIV community, in particular to help develop new solutions or improve current capabilities.
They will help mentor junior staff, peers, and students and be able to work unsupervised on project within the larger team, while also supporting other team members.
They will help set team directions and goals and, ideally, provide ideas and perform work that will lead to new grants and grant renewals in the areas of viral genetics, phylogenetic analyses, recombination, multiple sequence alignment, epidemiology and taxonomy/nomenclature.
We expect the Scientist 2 to maintain state-of-the art expertise and be actively involved in the broader scientific community. A successful candidate will have experience developing and implementing research projects.Scientist 3 $122,300 - $206,300
In addition to what was outlined at the lower level, at this level a Scientist 3 will lead in communicating the team's scientific R&D in papers, presentations (external and internal), and reports.
They will actively participate in grant writing and obtaining external/internal funding while providing leadership to the current team supported under a 7-year NIH grant.
