Subject: Postdoc positions at NIH

Description:
We are seeking multiple postdoctoral trainees to take on leading roles as
part of the newly established Viral Epidemiology and Immunity Unit (VEIU).
The VEIU is part of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases within the National
Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of
Health. In the VEIU, we use a multidisciplinary approach to investigate
immunological protection against and susceptibility to emerging and
reemerging viral diseases with the goal of informing how vaccines can be
effectively and safely licensed and introduced through vaccination programs.
Our research focuses on immunologically complex viral diseases with high
global burden, including flaviviral diseases such as dengue and Zika, and
diseases caused by coronaviruses, including COVID-19. We will use a range of
immunological assays and statistical tools to study determinants of disease
in large observational cohort studies and vaccine trials.

Specifically, we are interested in:
-antigenic and genetic viral evolution
-host immunological determinants of long-term protection and disease risk
-dynamics of viral transmission in human populations

Postdoctoral trainees joining the VEIU will help design and implement
projects, interacting directly with collaborators in the US and
internationally, including with experts leading longitudinal cohort studies
in Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Ecuador, and the Philippines. Researchers
in the VEIU will also be involved in establishing new clinical and
observational studies at NIH and abroad.
