UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCHER The Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) and the Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology & Immunogen Discovery (CHAVI-ID), under the direction of Dr. Barton Haynes, providing national and international leadership in the fight against major infectious diseases, is currently recruiting for a highly motivated individual to join our team. The Duke Human Vaccine Institute is an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental institute dedicated to the study of basic and translational science required to understand host-pathogen interactions that can be translated to vaccines against human diseases. We are a team of highly interactive investigators that have expertise in mucosal and systemic virology, immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, and animal models. The Azoitei lab is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate student interested in research. The students will contribute to research projects involving the development of HIV vaccine candidates and the engineering of novel therapeutic antibodies against infectious diseases. Lab duties will include buffer preparation, DNA amplification (PCR) and extraction, assembly of DNA libraries, transforming and growing bacterial cultures and general lab upkeep. Familiarity with general laboratory techniques is beneficial, but training will be provided. |
