The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Division ofIntramural Research (DIR) is seeking several outstanding individuals for its newProgram in Systems Immunology and Infectious Disease Modeling (PSIIM).

Modern technology allows the analysis of immune responses and host-pathogeninteractions at multiple levels - from intracellular signaling networks, toindividual cell behavior, to the functioning of a tissue, organ, and even the wholeorganism. The challenge is not only to collect the large amounts of data, but alsoto organize it in a manner that enhances our understanding of how the immunesystem operates or how pathogens affect their hosts. To do this, it is necessaryto develop detailed quantitative models that can be used to predict the behaviorof a complex biological system. These models can help explain the mechanismsunderlying physiological and pathological responses to infection or vaccination,which can then be employed to design better therapies or vaccines.

Achieving these goals requires an interdisciplinary effort and for this reason thePSIIM is organized as an integrated team of scientists and support staff. Withinthe PSIIM, there will be groups with expertise in the areas of computationalbiology, bioinformatics, proteomics, genomics, cell biology, immunology, andinfectious diseases. These teams will have access to the latest technology forgene expression profiling, high content screening of RNAi libraries for thediscovery of pathway components, imaging tools, genomic and proteomicanalysis, cores for the genetic manipulation of animals, and a substantialcomputer infrastructure. They will also have access to BSL3 facilities for workingwith infectious agents of high priority for human health and biodefense.Although the PSIIM has been established within NIAID and has an immune /infectious disease focus, it is also expected to play a major role in fostering thegrowth of systems biology efforts throughout the NIH and involving diversebiomedical areas.

Current teams in the PSIIM include Immunology, Computational Biology –Modeling and Simulation, and Molecular / Cell Biology – High-throughputscreening. The PSIIM is now recruiting for tenure track or tenure level teamleader appointments in the following areas:

Bioinformatics / Biostatistics: the incumbent will lead a group focused ondeveloping and implementing computational tools and statistical methodsfor the analysis of genomic and proteomic data. The ideal candidate will havea strong background in statistics, mathematics, programming, and modelingbiological systems as well as a strong interest in collaboration with biologistsfor the elucidation of biological mechanisms. The group will include expertise insoftware development (C++, Java, Perl, SQL etc.), knowledge of bioinformatictools, databases and algorithms, and experience with heterogeneous computerenvironments (UNIX, Windows, Mac).

Proteomics: the incumbent will lead a group involved in the developmentand application of new methods for the determination of protein number,binding affinities, post-translational modification, and other qualitative and

Help Us Help Millions

quantitative aspects of protein expression and behavior that are necessaryfor computer modeling and simulation. Tools such as mass spectrometry andmicrofluidic-based multiplexed binding assays are expected to be key elementsin the efforts of this group. A strong background in protein biochemistry and therelevant instrumentation needed for high-throughput, high-sensitivity analysisis required.

Genomics: the incumbent will be responsible for developing novel approachesto the systems-wide analysis of such issues as transcription factor andepigenetic control of gene expression, the effects of allelic polymorphism ongene expression and function, quantitative measurement of gene expression,and the role of non-coding regions and transcripts such as miRNAs in regulatinggene/gene product expression patterns. Knowledge of modern methods inhigh-throughput analysis of gene transcription, transcription factor bindingsite identification, analysis of epigenetic modifications, and analysis of generegulatory circuits is required; bioinformatics experience is desirable.

These positions and the research activities they conduct are fully funded by theintramural research program of NIAID. Each team leader is expected to builda working group consisting of postdoctoral fellows, students, technicians, andstaff scientists. The team leaders will work with the Program Director to helpset the goals for the PSIIM and to determine how best to reach these goals asan integrated group. To ensure appropriate career trajectories for those joiningthe PSIIM team effort, the NIH has modified its tenure policies to take specificaccount of contributions made in such a team science setting. Applicants shouldbe seeking a difficult challenge in which creativity, technical expertise, and astrong desire to achieve in a team setting will be critical for success.

Interested candidates may contact Dr. Ronald Germain, Program Director, PSIIM,DIR, NIAID at (301) 496-1904 or email ([email protected]) for additionalinformation about these positions.

To apply, submit your curriculum vitae, bibliography, and a detailed statementof how your expertise can contribute to the success of the PSIIM program, toWanda Jackson at [email protected].
