Research Position
The Pawlica Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City is seeking a postdoctoral researcher interested in RNA biology, molecular virology, and host‑virus interactions.
Research FocusOur lab studies how viral noncoding RNAs, conserved RNA elements, small RNAs, and host RNA‑binding proteins regulate post‑transcriptional gene expression during infection. Current projects examine herpes viral noncoding RNAs, regulatory RNA elements in SARS‑CoV‑2 and measles virus, PUMILIO proteins, ILF3/NF90‑family proteins, microRNA pathways, mRNA stability, translation, and antiviral gene expression.
ApproachesApproaches include molecular virology, RNA biochemistry, viral RNA mutagenesis, RNA immunoprecipitation, eCLIP, RNA‑seq, small RNA‑seq, reporter assays, mammalian cell culture, and computational analysis of sequencing data.
QualificationsApplicants should have a strong research background in RNA biology, molecular biology, virology, or a related field, demonstrated by publications in peer‑reviewed journals. Experience with RNA biochemistry, mammalian cell culture, virology, high‑throughput sequencing, CLIP/eCLIP, bioinformatics, herpes viruses, coronaviruses, or paramyxoviruses is desirable.
Application InstructionsInterested applicants should send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references to paulina.pawlica.
