Job Description
The Rückert Lab in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology department at University of Nevada, Reno invites applicants for a postdoctoral position investigating virus-mosquito interactions at the molecular and cellular level. We seek candidates with a strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry for a project focusing on RNA-protein and protein-protein interactions. The project will include extensive molecular cloning, protein expression, co-IP, mass spectrometry, NGS, and data analysis in the context of virus infection of mosquito cells and mosquitoes. Virology experience is desired, but any candidates with strong foundations in molecular and biochemical assays will be considered.
Our lab focuses on virus-vector interactions, including mosquito immunology and molecular tool development (e.g. CRISPR/Cas9). We study innate immune signaling, antiviral RNA interference, and specific antiviral genes/proteins with unknown functions. Our lab is a small lab with strong emphasis on individual development, learning/mentoring, and pursuit of individual professional goals. The future fellow will have opportunities to expand their skill set, participate in professional development opportunities, and receive feedback and support for their individual career aspirations. We usually have a mix of undergraduate and graduate students in the lab who often pursue their own projects but will benefit from guidance by the fellow (in the lab, data analysis, scientific writing, and presentations).

Key Responsibilities:
Molecular cloning (mutagenesis) of gene(s) of interest
Generation of knockout cells using CRISPR/Cas9 and established protocols
Perform protein co-IPs, Western blots, and mass spectrometry (with Core facilities)
Perform virus infections of cells and later mosquitoes, extraction of viral and cellular RNA, quantitative real-time PCR, and virus titration by plaque assays.
Perform or assist with next-generation sequencing and data analysis
Analyze experimental data using appropriate graphical, statistical, and bioinformatic methods.
Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and present findings at conferences.
Participate in lab meetings, mentor junior scientists, and contribute to a collaborative and inclusive lab culture.
Required Qualifications
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Virology, or related fields
Demonstrated ability to conduct research, as evidence by publication record.
Research experience using molecular biology and biochemistry techniques
Demonstrated excellent analytical, writing, and communication skills.
The doctoral degree must have been completed within the five years immediately preceding the first date of appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at the University.
The individual cannot have held previous positions in the professional ranks.
Preferred Qualifications
Scientific Background in arbovirology
Experience with Mass spectrometry and studying protein-protein interactions
Experience using next‑generation sequencing and bioinformatics.
Experience working in BSL‑2 containment including handling viruses and/or mosquitoes infected with arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses.
Evidence in writing scientific papers and successful grant applications.
Experience mentoring trainees, such as undergraduate students

Fellow job in Reno, NV
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) appreciates your interest in employment at our growing institution. We want your application process to go smoothly and quickly. Final applications must be submitted prior to the close of the recruitment.
If you need assistance or have questions regarding the application process, please contact our recruitment helpline at ************** or ************. For UNR Med professional job postings, please contact the Office of Professional Recruitment at **************.
Job Description
The newly established Wildfire Research and Technology Lab at University of Nevada, Reno invites applicants for multiple postdoctoral fellows to conduct research in technological and scientific aspects of Wildfire Science and Engineering across the Pre-Fire, Active-Fire, and Post-Fire domains. Our goal is to develop new capabilities to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires. We seek dynamic individuals with knowledge of fire science (or related fields) who are willing to work within a multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced research and development environment, learn new skills, and produce high-quality research products. The positions are part of a cluster hire in support of the new Lab. The candidates will interact with other research teams at the Lab as well as faculty members at UNR and other partnering institutes and agencies. The Lab is committed to postdoctoral mentorship and supports independent career development for successful candidates.
For Pre-Fire domain, we seek candidates with strong background in engineering risk, reliability, and stochastic simulation concepts with experience in wildfire modeling and loss assessment and regional planning of communities at the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Successful candidates will contribute to the development of solution platforms for integrating spatial and temporal information, harnessing remote sensing data, using climate information, understanding fuel accumulation and running physics-based or data-driven wildfire simulations to design and assess scenarios for risk mitigation.
For Active-Frie problem domain, we seek candidates with strong background in analytical and computational methods related to physics-based wildfire simulation, fuel modeling, remote sensing, data-driven methods, artificial intelligence, and real-time applications. The successful candidates will contribute to the development of faster than real-time data and modeling tools for emergency response management and decision support.
In the post-fire domain, candidates will establish quantitative links between wildfire behavior with post-fire hydro-ecological consequences affecting landscapes and water bodies to quantify impacts and establish boundary conditions for recovery modeling. Specifically, we seek capable individuals with proficiency in modeling to assess how post-wildfire impacts soil functioning (infiltration, runoff, strength, composition, ecology), smoke and pyrometeor deposition, soil carbon and nutrient cycle alterations, sediment transport, impacts of altered vegetation, soil and hydrology on landscape functions to guide targeted restoration strategies for accelerating recovery of fire-affected landscapes.
Required Qualifications
Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics, Ecology and Forestry, Earth Science, Computational Science, or related fields.
Ph.D. research experience in wildfire engineering, fire science, landscape modeling, or related topics.
Experience in working with big data.
Excellent English-language communication skills (oral and written).
Demonstrated ability to perform research and publish results in peer-reviewed literature.
Completion of a doctoral degree in the appropriate discipline is required.
The doctoral degree must have been completed within the five years immediately preceding the first date of appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at the University.
The individual cannot have held previous positions in the professional ranks.
Preferred Qualifications
Candidates who possess the following skills and attributes are encouraged to apply:
Background in large-scale numerical modeling (regional planning, ecological, hydrologic climatic, or wildfire modeling).
Experience with scientific software development in C/C++, FORTRAN and/or Python.
Experience working with geo-spatial information, remote sensing data, and GIS software.
Experience in deep learning and computer vision.
Experience in developing software tools and products.
Experience in writing scientific papers and successful grant applications.
