Job Description
Quantitative Biology of Virus-Host Interactions: A position is available immediately for a highly motivated individual to develop methods that advance our mechanistic and systems-level understanding of virus and host processes during virus infections. Our approach combines single-cell measures of viral and cellular processes, within-cell readouts of viral and anti-viral intermediates, use of established and novel culture systems, mathematical modeling, and quantitative imaging of infection spread. Our studies focus on RNA viruses relevant to human health and technology development, including human rhinovirus and vesicular stomatitis virus. This NIH-supported work involves close collaboration among biological and physical scientists, including molecular biologists, engineers and clinicians. Applicants with a strong background in microscopy, quantitative imaging, microbiology, immunology, or data-driven mathematical modeling are especially encouraged to apply.
We pursue our research at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, a major public- and private-sponsored initiative, housed in an award-winning facility, that promotes cross-disciplinary training and research, as well as public outreach, for societal benefit (see discovery.wisc.edu). Madison is an attractive and affordable city surrounded by beautiful lakes. Among U.S. cities, Madison routinely ranks among “best places to live,” and residents thrive on its diversity of educational, cultural and outdoor opportunities.
