Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Virology and Flavivirus Research at Institut Pasteur Institut Pasteur in France

The Institut Pasteur, in collaboration with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in molecular virology to join the InFlaMe project. The InFlaMe project is a multidisciplinary European initiative focused on addressing the threats posed by flaviviruses, such as Dengue virus (DENV) and West Nile virus (WNV), through the development of new therapies and a deeper understanding of virus-host interactions. The project brings together experts in virology, epidemiology, immunology, and climate change to accelerate antiviral discovery, identify new treatment compounds, and develop effective diagnostic tools.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Research Director Nolwenn Jouvenet at the Institut Pasteur in France. The research will involve investigating the molecular mechanisms of flavivirus infection, contributing to the design of new therapeutics, and participating in a collaborative, international research environment. The InFlaMe project is well-funded, with a total consortium budget of nearly €3 million, and offers the opportunity to engage with leading scientists across Europe.

Applicants should hold a PhD and have demonstrated experience in molecular virology. Additional skills in virus-host interactions, antiviral research, or related fields are highly desirable. The position is ideal for candidates seeking to advance their careers in virology and infectious disease research, with a focus on pandemic preparedness and translational science. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Nolwenn Jouvenet directly for further details and application instructions.
