A Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the Andersen Lab at Scripps Research to work on diverse projects using genomics approaches and high-throughput experiments to study emerging viruses and the outbreaks they cause, including arenaviruses, filoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza viruses, orthopoxviruses, and arboviruses. We use an integrated approach of ‘field’ work in Africa, technology development, and computational biology to investigate these viruses. We are looking for a (primarily) wet-lab postdoc with experience and/or interest in pathogen discovery, next-generation sequencing, and/or virology to lead new projects across our range of viruses and research interests. Strong preference will be given to candidates with an interest in developing and deploying novel sequencing- and molecular-based assays for pathogen detection, characterization, and monitoring across different scales, including wastewater (and other environmental sources) and clinical domains. This position is part of our larger initiatives, including Modjadji ( https://modjadji.info/ ), PREVENT ( https://preventcohorts.org ), SEARCH ( https://searchcovid.info/ ), Outbreak.info ( https://outbreak.info/ ), and the Center for Viral Systems Biology ( https://cvisb.org/ ). Postdoctoral Associates are appointed positions for the purpose of developing scholarly competence, working under the supervision of a Scripps Research Faculty member. These appointments are normally not renewed beyond a total of five years. Postdoctoral Associates cannot apply for external funding either as a Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator without prior approval from a Departmental Chair. Postdoctoral Associates do not have consulting privileges. Make Scripps Research your next step to advance your research training.
