The salary at NIH is highly competitive and commensurate with experience.Job Requirements:Applicants should have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent, and strong research experience in any of the following:Virology, especially RNA virusesAnimal models, especially mice or mosquitoesEvolutionary biology, experiment or theoryPhylogeneticsCell biology, especially high-throughput microscopy or live-cell imagingRNA/DNA sequencing technologiesBioinformatics and computational biologyHow to Apply:To apply, please submit your CV, a cover letter describing your interests and experience, and a list of three references to . Informal inquiries and informational interviews are welcome.The Quantitative Virology and Evolution Unit is led by Patrick Dolan, Ph.D., Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and Unit Chief in the Laboratory of Viral Diseases, NIH-NIAID, in Bethesda, MD.Our work is focused on the use of quantitative experimental and computational approaches to understand the roles of heterogeneity, history, and constraint on viral emergence and evolution. In one focus area, we use single-cell sequencing approaches to characterize the responses to infection in cell culture and animal models. We hope these studies will help us understand within-host evolutionary dynamics, and the determinants of host tropism and pathogenesis. In another focus area, we use phylogenetic tools to reconstruct the evolution of emerging viruses. We then experimentally interrogate these ancestral evolutionary paths with mutational screens to understand how viruses emerge.#J-18808-Ljbffr
