Offer Description
The project aims to strengthen and accelerate technological innovation platforms at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo city, Brazil. We expect to build competitive technologies for the development of immunobiological and immunodiagnostic products that would allow for rapid responses to emerging viral diseases using SARS-CoV-2 as model. In addition, we intend that these platforms could allow for the implementation of in vitro and in vivo robust models, and their validation, to carry out challenge assays. Moreover, these platforms should allow us not only to better understand the disease's pathogenes, but also to identify new targets for the development of new therapeutic agents. In this context, the implementation of a biobank and the development of a computer system to control storage, identification and reporting of virus samples is extremely important.
Candidates must have experience in virology techniques (virus isolation in cell culture, neutralization tests, immunoenzymatic assays and microscopy), as well as molecular and cellular biology techniques (qPCR, western blot and cytometry). The position requires experience in security laboratory (BSL-2, BSL-3), as well as knowledge of Python programming language, Java script, and applications related to the analysis of genomic data and the development of laboratory processing pipelines.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 9,047.40 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.
