Cornell University
Cornell University, located in Ithaca, 
New York, is an inclusive, dynamic, and 
innovative Ivy League university and New 
York's and-grant institution. Its staff, faculty, 
and students impart an uncommon sense 
of larger purpose and contribute creative 
ideas and best practices to further the 
university's mission of teaching,
research, and outreach.

The Department of Molecular Biology and 
Genetics seeks a postdoctoral research 
associate to study the role of the newly 
discovered retrovirus XMRV in chronic 
syndrome (CFS).  Blood from a cohort of 
CFS patients and controls in upstate 
New York will be examined for the presence
of virus, viral proteins, and antibodies to
viral proteins.  Sequences of XMRV from 
different patients will be obtained in order 
to characterize the diversity of viruses in 
the population.  Whether virus sequences 
correlate with functional status of CFS 
patients will be determined.  This project 
will be undertaken in collaboration with the 
Whittemore-Peterson Institute in Reno,
Nevada and the Columbia University Center 
for Infection and Immunity as well as with 
several physicians treating CFS patients.
