This postdoctoral project at Washington University in St. Louis centers on an unusual and timely question in molecular microbiology: picobirnaviruses (PBVs), long assumed to be eukaryotic viruses, are described here as the third known group of RNA bacteriophages . The research is built around the recently reported shift in understanding of PBV biology and its implications for bacterial host interactions, microbiome dynamics, and human health. The successful candidate will work on defining how PB...

About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) places the participant in the Zoonosis and Discovery Team within the Coronavirus and Respiratory Viruses Laboratory Branch, part of the Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division at CDC. The project is centered on advanced laboratory and sequencing approaches for identifying and characterizing known, emerging, and novel viruses linked to respiratory disease, outbreaks, zoonotic events, and cases where routine diagnostic testing has not identified an etiologic agent.

The fellow will join an interdisciplinary public health research environment and work alongside virologists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, epidemiologists, and other scientific professionals. The training emphasizes advanced molecular methods, next-generation sequencing, viral genomics, and pathogen discovery, with hands-on involvement in method development, evaluation, optimization, and application of laboratory workflows for comprehensive viral detection.

Research activities may include PCR-based sequencing, targeted sequencing, pan-viral enrichment sequencing, metagenomic sequencing, assay performance studies, and application of optimized methods to outbreak, surveillance, etiologic, and emerging infectious disease specimens. The role also includes evaluating new reagents, technologies, sequencing platforms, and analytical tools; integrating laboratory findings with epidemiologic and specimen information; and contributing to laboratory quality management, safety, documentation, and quality control.

The fellowship also supports scientific communication through presentations, technical reports, posters, abstracts, and manuscripts, with activities tailored to the fellow’s scientific background and professional development goals. The opportunity is located in Atlanta, Georgia, at CDC.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $6,581.00–$7,888.00; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on CDC recommendation and availability of funds.

What's required

The candidate should have received or be currently pursuing a doctoral degree in microbiology, molecular biology, virology, infectious diseases, genomics, or a related scientific discipline. The degree must have been received within the past 5 years, or be anticipated by December 2026. Applicants should have a minimum overall GPA of 3.50. Preferred preparation includes PCR-based molecular methods and assay development, next-generation sequencing (targeted, enrichment, or metagenomic sequencing), development/optimization/evaluation/validation of molecular laboratory methods, work with infectious materials in a BSL-2 or higher setting, analysis and interpretation of molecular or genomic data, bioinformatics, phylogenetics, molecular evolution, or genomic epidemiology, and scientific writing and oral presentation skills. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents only.
