#  Postdoctoral Fellow, Immunology and Infectious Diseases @ Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health 

 





April 22, 2025

 

 

**Our Research**

We study innate immunity to RNA viruses in humans and invertebrate models (including *C. elegans*), as well as host evolution and viral immune evasion strategies.

  
**Approaches**

· Virus-Host Interactions: Using EMS mutagenesis and CRISPR screens, we identify key genetic factors influencing virus infection and follow up to determine their mechanisms.

· Genetic Variation & Immunity: Through collaborations with field biologists and human geneticists, we investigate how genetic diversity shapes individual responses to viral infections and vaccines, bridging basic science with translational medicine.

  
**The research environment**

· The lab was just established in December 2024, and the successful candidate will play a key role in shaping the group’s direction and culture.

· We benefit from a renowned research environment at the HSPH, with outstanding staff support. The successful candidate will join a vibrant community of scientists in the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases. Additionally, we have a secondary affiliation with the Harvard Medical School Department of Microbiology and are part of the Harvard Program in Virology.

· Ideal applicants will be expected to develop a research program that is original but fits within the general priorities of the group and funded grants, taking into account the relevant literature, own experience, and advice from other scientists.

· Successful candidates will have the opportunity for professional development through support for attending conferences, giving talks, writing proposals, and mentoring, among other activities.

Basic Qualifications

· Candidates must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., immunology, virology, genetics, molecular biology, or a related discipline).

· Strong skills in experimental design, data analysis, and oral and written communication.

· Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques.

· Highly creative, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.

Additional Qualifications

· Strong skills in cell culture and/or *C. elegans* culture.

· Proven success in publishing research papers.

· Expertise in virology is a plus.

· Expertise in bioinformatics is a plus.
