Responsibilities
A postdoctoral training position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Theodoros Kelesidis, in the Infectious Disease and Geographic Medicine Division of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, to study the immunopathogenesis of viral infections. The Kelesidis Laboratory has several exciting projects related to infectious diseases, immunology, and cardiometabolic complications of infectious diseases, including HIV infection. Our lab aims to understand the complex interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and aberrant host responses that drive end-organ disease into infectious diseases. The lab integrates both basic and translational research platforms with a goal to apply tools from multiple fields (immunology, virology, molecular biology, and medicine) to understand the immunopathogenesis of infectious diseases. Our vision is to define the mechanistic links between viral infections such as HIV and respiratory viral infections, oxidative stress, inflammation, and end-organ disease such as cardiovascular disease. These findings may lead to the development of novel therapeutic interventions that can target viral replication and associated cellular and tissue damage and may improve the prognosis of patients infected with viruses such as HIV and respiratory viruses.
Information on our postdoctoral training program, benefits, and a virtual tour can be found at the UTSW Postdoctoral Research Webpage.
Candidates must hold a recent Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Experience in molecular immunology and/or virology and/or related disciplines leading to publication in peer-reviewed journals is recommended.
Interested individuals must upload a CV, diploma, and associated transcripts.
