HIV Vaccine Translational Research laboratory (HVTR)

Principal Investigator-Protein Biochemistry

HIV Vaccine Translational Research laboratory (HVTR), a collaborative effort of Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) and International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), USA is seeking Principal Investigator- Protein Biochemistry.

HVTR aims to accelerate and advance HIV vaccine research and development and shall be an integral part of the THSTI cluster of research centers and will be closely linked to global network of R&D facilities, including IAVIs Neutralizing Antibody Consortium (NAC) and IAVI Design and Development lab, situated in Brooklyn, New York.

HVTR would be an innovative discovery program and will be directed at designing, testing and implementing highthroughput (HT) strategies for HIV-1 envelope-based immunogen screening and prioritization to help discover and advance novel HIV vaccine candidates. The program is targeted to expand the number of vaccine candidates for testing, and enhance the speed with which they can be assayed. The unique industrial-type high-throughput vaccine design, screening and selection processes proposed will be largely facilitated by interdisciplinary interaction and thus driven by principles of international collaboration, high-quality science and vaccine-oriented applied research.

Key Responsibilities:

Formulate, lead, and guide all scientific aspects of the Program related to expression, production and characterization of HIV Envelopes, scaffolds, peptides and antibodies in sufficient quantities for both in vitro and in vivo studies and for the use of these proteins as reagent in the lab or by NAC investigators under the broad direction of the Program Director.

Oversee the conduct of research and research team to help ensure ethical conduct in all aspects of the research process including but not limited to conflicts of interest, data acquisition, management, sharing and ownership, publication practices, responsible authorship, and collaborative research and reporting.

Develop and manage the project budget & financial plan and report on project progress as outlined in the project plan and maintain accurate records of project related activities and expenses to the Program Director.

Ensure and establish effective working relationships, scientific linkages and collaborations with other scientists within THSTI cluster and IAVI NAC and also with THSTI and IAVI India office.
