$12K/yr - $140K/yrGAP Solutions, Inc. is seeking a Bioengineering Scientist to support the Virus Persistence and Dynamic Section at the Vaccine Research Center within NIAID. The role involves developing microfluidics-based approaches for analyzing intra-host virus diversity and evolution, as well as collaborating with scientists and contributing to research publications.
Management Consulting
Responsibilities
Develop microfluidics-based approaches for analysis of intra-host virus diversity and evolution, such as:
An approach for high-throughput, single-copy, full-length sequencing of purified virus genomes, to include the following:
Optimized virus inactivation and nucleic acid extraction procedures from blood and body fluids
Customized microfluidic devices, regimes of operation, and reagents that partition extracted virus genomes in aqueous solution into monodisperse water-in-oil emulsions and thus enable downstream single-copy analysis
An approach for high-throughput sequencing of individual intact virions, to include the following:
Non-destructive procedures for abrogating the infectivity of intact virions in suspension
Customized microfluidic devices, regimes of operation, and reagents that can partition single-virion suspensions into water-in-oil emulsions at limiting dilution and thus enable downstream single-virion analysis
Maintain records of all work using appropriate electronic systems
Present results at internal and external meetings
Collaborate with NIH and non-NIH scientists
Train other NIH scientists in methods under development
Contribute to original research manuscripts describing findings
