This three-year postdoctoral position in Professor Zaza Ndhlovu' Group at AHRI in Durban, South Africa, is embedded in a recently awarded Bill and Melinda Gates-funded grant.
The project aims to contribute to the development of a preventive HIV vaccine that will be effective in eastern and southern African populations, which is the region that is disproportionately affected by HIV.
The long-term goal of the project is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of HLA association with HIV control and to determine HLA diversity in the region.
The project will involve, i) generating HLA genotyping data for many individuals from diverse ethnicities in eastern and southern Africa, ii) creating a publicly available high resolution HLA database. This will be a collaborative project among 4 African countries, Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, and South Africa.
By characterizing HLA allele and haplotype frequencies and networked epitopes combinations in eastern and southern Africa, this project will generate information regarding HLA usage in the region which will serve as an important resource for researchers developing new vaccines for diseases that are highly prevalent in the region such as HIV, HPV, and malaria.
- Experience in human genome sequence analysis
- Experience in analyzing Omics data such as RNA-Seq data
- Experience in programming languages such as R
- Knowledge of infectious disease research is preferable but not essential (particularly HIV)
- Ability to prepare results for publication and draft own manuscripts
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Good interpersonal skills and team orientated
