The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services, is recruiting for a Research Fellow. The position will be available in the Molecular Pathology Section of the Laboratory of Immunopathology, and scientists with an M.D., Ph.D., or D.V.M. are eligible. The research activity involves (1) studies of the roles played by CTCF in imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, and the organization of transcriptional domains; and (2) analyses of BORIS expression and function in gametogenesis and stem/progenitor cells, in response to infectious agents, as well as the consequences of aberrant expression in cancers. This full-time research position offers a unique opportunity to work on investigations that range from basic molecular biology to studies of gene-manipulated mice in a collaborative environment, and provides excellent training for scientists who plan a career in molecular biology, infectious disease, and cancer research.

Research Fellow applicants should have three or more years of relevant postdoctoral experience; the salary range is $44,180 - $108,319. A full package of benefits (including retirement, health, life and long term care insurance, Thrift Savings Plan participation, etc.) is available.
