The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) conducts and supports a global program of research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. In the NIAID Laboratory of Allergic Diseases, the Mast Cell Biology Section (MCBS) has an opening for a staff scientist with expertise in mast cell biology and techniques applicable to understanding the control of mast-cell function.

The overall research mission of the Laboratory of Allergic Diseases is to better understand the pathogenesis of allergic diseases and to work toward diagnosis and therapy, integrating both basic and clinical research programs. The focus of the MCBS is on understanding the control of human mast cell function in disorders of mast cell proliferation and activation by examining how the mast cell signalosome under epigenetic control modulates mast-cell behavior. The ultimate goal is to develop novel approaches to the treatment of allergic diseases.

The successful applicant will implement and contribute to a research program focused on signal transduction pathways and their control in mast cell proliferation and activation. This position requires a Ph.D. in cell biology, molecular biology, or immunology and five to ten years of experience in immune/mast cell signal transduction. An understanding of expression and sequencing platforms and associated bioinformatics, a strong publication record, a proven ability to direct research and coordinate collaborative projects, and a demonstrated ability to conduct translational research are musts.

Title: Chief
Deadline: Open-ended

Job Description:

The NEI seeks to develop a new program in computational analysis that fully employs human genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, neurophysiological and clinical data sets to reconstruct biological networks characteristic of normal and disease states. The magnitude, diversity, rich information content, and hierarchical connectivity of these data sets require the utilization and development of novel quantitative tools. The goal is to understand human disease at a molecular level in order to develop mechanism-based therapeutic interventions. We invite applications for head of a new laboratory of Computational Medicine within the NEI Intramural Research Program. This initiative seeks to integrate and translate knowledge from genetics and biology to a wide range of disease processes using systems, network, statistical and bioinformatics approaches. The NEI/NIH provides an exceptional environment of dedicated scientists as well as a wide range of resources. We currently envision that this program will be located in the newly constructed Porter Neuroscience complex that houses a diverse set of investigators from many different Institutes. The successful candidate will be expected to recruit tenure-track faculty in areas that may include computational medicine or neuroscience, network biology, genetic or molecular epidemiology, cell and molecular biology, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and biostatistics into the new Laboratory of Computational Medicine. Applicants should have a MD, MD/PhD or PhD and an outstanding record of accomplishments in genetics, epidemiology, neuroscience, cell and molecular biology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative discipline.
