We are seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Fellow Position in our group, the Quantitative Virology and Evolution Unit, within the Laboratory of Viral Diseases, NIAID-NIH. Our laboratory uses single-cell sequencing and deep-mutational scanning, in conjunction with cell biology and biochemistry, to understand the molecular mechanisms that underly viral evolution and emergence. Our work focuses on two model systems of RNA viruses, flaviviruses and picornaviruses. 

Applicants should have a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent, and strong research experience in any of the following: 

- Virology, especially RNA viruses 
- Animal models, especially mice or mosquitoes
- Evolutionary biology, experiment or theory
- Phylogenetics
- Cell biology, especially high-throughput microscopy or live-cell imaging
- RNA/DNA sequencing technologies

The successful candidate will develop an independent project under the supervision of the Unit Chief, and be responsible for designing and conducting research, reading literature, writing manuscripts, and developing skills to launch their career. The QVEU embraces diversity among our team members, and provides a supportive, team-oriented, and equitable environment for all of our scientists to thrive in.
