Multiple postdoctoral positions are available immediately to study HIV and related animal model vaccine development at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research in the laboratory of Dr. Ronald Montelaro. The candidate should be familiar with basic techniques in molecular virology and immunology. Previous research experience in lentivirus/retrovirus systems is highly desirable. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. The Center for Vaccine Research is housed in a new state-of-the-art facility that has research programs focusing on AIDS and emerging infectious diseases and is part of a larger research community at the University of Pittsburgh that currently ranks sixth nationally in NIH funding. Although there have been tremendous advances in the diagnosis and treatment of many medical conditions, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of deaths world-wide. Few discoveries in biomedical research are as important as those that revolve around the development of new diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines for infectious agents that pose risks to global public health and global security. The Center for Vaccine Research (CVR) at the University of Pittsburgh was established to address this imperative. The CVR is housed in the new, state-of-the-art Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3), which is located on the main campus of the University of Pittsburgh — one of the nation’s leading research institutions. The CVR is composed of two components — the Vaccine Research Laboratory (VRL) and the Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) — and boasts 32,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. Building on the University’s existing strengths in the study of SARS, AIDS, influenza, immunology, and drug discovery, the CVR engages a cross-section of scientists from an array of disciplines in infectious disease research. Under the leadership of director Donald S. Burke, MD, and co-director Ronald C. Montelaro, PhD, the CVR plans to expand its footprint in the area of vaccine research and development by expanding its team of world-class investigators. The CVR activities span basic research on molecular mechanisms of infectious diseases to the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. Moreover, the CVR supports interdisciplinary research efforts across the University and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) focused on emerging infections that threaten human health. Visionary and capable leadership; a balance of basic, translational, and clinical research; emphasis on faculty interaction; and the synergistic environment of the BST3 are among the unique features that contribute to the unparalleled potential of this world-class research center! Application: Interested individuals should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and their name, address, e-mail and telephone number for three references to Jodi Craigo, Center for Vaccine Research, University of Pittsburgh, 9017 BST3, 3501 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15261.

SICSA prize studentships competition for the best and brightest in informatics & computing 25/02/2010
An annual studentship competition for the best and brightest in informatics and computing SICSA offers up to 20 prize studentships per year to the very best students from anywhere in the world. Our aim is to attract the research leaders of the future, whatever their nationality or place of residence, to come and work with us in Scotland. Each SICSA student will spend 3 to 4 years as part of a programme coordinated across the partners. These students will catalyze new collaborations across the research community, and lead the next generation of excellent computing researchers. In 2010, we will be offering up to 20 SICSA prize studentships, across Scotland. We are looking for outstanding applicants in any area of computer science and informatics. We are particularly interested in applications from students who want to work in one of the SICSA research themes. SICSA prize studentships are funded jointly by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the university where the studentship is held. They are worth around £18,000 per year for 3.5 years. This includes support for living expenses of around £13,000, research expenses and postgraduate fees at the level charged to students who are UK/EU residents. Additional support may be available to students who are not UK/EU residents and who would normally be required to pay the full postgraduate fee. The level of this support, however, depends on individual universities and cannot be guaranteed. SICSA is committed to Scottish research collaboration, including excellent researchers in smaller groups as well as those in larger units. Studentships are therefore available at all Scottish Universities that are members of SICSA. To reinforce the collaborative nature of SICSA, each studentship will involve cross-site supervision. Formally, however, each student would be registered in the traditional manner, at a single degree-awarding institution. Studentship conditions It is a condition of the award of a studentship that SICSA-funded students must take a number of graduate training courses, attend at least one SICSA summer school and agree to participate in Scottish Graduate Academy activities. To be considered in March 2010, applications must be received by the deadline of 28th February 2010. Remember, you have to fill in both a university application form and a SICSA prize studentship application form.
