Post-Doctoral Fellow Opportunity
The Wistar Institute has an opening for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Vincent Wu. The Wu laboratory is opening at The Wistar Institute in December 2025, focusing on understanding the phenotypes of HIV infected cells and how it relates to proviral epigenetics for developing potent and specific latency reversal strategies. These strategies include the development of HIV DNA specific approaches with targeted mRNA-LNPs.
We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to work at the intersection of molecular biology and bioinformatics by using single-cell multiomics to better understand the epigenetics of the HIV reservoir. The successful candidate will have experience with T cell immunology, extensive hands-on skills in basic tissue culture and molecular biology (PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, etc.), and next-generation sequencing. Strong expertise with single cell assays, epigenetic assays, and/or bioinformatics (familiarity with operating within Unix systems and experience with Python/R) is highly desirable.
A PhD in immunology, cell/molecular biology, or bioinformatics is required. Candidates should have at least one first-author peer-reviewed publication. In addition to the online application, interested individuals should apply by submitting a CV, one-page cover letter outlining the reason for their scientific interest in the lab and career goals, as well as names and contact information for at least 3 references to Dr.
Vincent Wu, vwu.
We offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits package.
