Postdoctoral intramural research training award (IRTA)

Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), Hamilton, MT

A postdoctoral IRTA position is available in the Molecular Pathogenesis Unit within the Laboratory of Virology at the RML campus of NIAID in Hamilton, Montana. The newly formed Molecular Pathogenesis Unit aims to combine pathogenesis studies with detailed molecular analyses to identify molecular determinants of severe respiratory tract disease within the virus and the host.

The successful applicant will be part of a multidisciplinary team focused on understanding the pathogenesis of emerging respiratory virus infections, such as Nipah virus, SARS-CoV2, and influenza A virus.
