Job Description
Postdoctoral Associate rotavirus norovirus astrovirus reovirus
PhD in molecular biology infectious disease biology or related fields Strong background in cell culture techniques Experience in molecular biology methods (cloning Western blotting qRT-PCR CRISPR-Cas9) Demonstrated independent and critical thinking abilities and Excellent communication skills.
Research Focus
Our laboratory studies how human intestinal epithelial cells detect and respond to enteric viral infections (rotavirus norovirus astrovirus reovirus). We are particularly interested in:
Characterizing qualitative and quantitative differences in innate immune responses across diverse intestinal epithelial cell types (enterocytes goblet cells Paneth cells stem cells) and diverse sections of the human gut (duodenum jejunum ileum and colon)
Investigating how epithelial cell polarity (apical-basolateral organization) affects viral infection and cellular responses
Understanding the impact of the guts unique low-oxygen environment (hypoxia) on infection outcomes
Methodological Expertise
Our laboratory has established expertise in:
Live-cell fluorescence microscopy
Enteroid and organoid culture model systems to study viral infection
Single-cell sequencing technologies
Research Environment
You will join a vibrant virology community at UF that includes experts in herpesvirus biology enteric viruses and emerging pathogens offering excellent opportunities for collaboration and professional development.
Compensation & Benefits
$61008 annual salary (commensurate with experience and in accordance with NIH postdoctoral salary guidelines)
Comprehensive health and leave benefits
Access to university libraries and research resources
