About this position

The Meng Lab at Virginia Tech is seeking a postdoctoral associate to study how hepatitis E virus infects across species barriers and jumps from animals to humans. The project is centered on understanding the mechanisms that shape cross-species transmission, with the successful candidate working independently in a multidisciplinary environment under the supervision of a molecular virologist and a chemical engineer.

The research sits at the intersection of virology, cell biology, and translational infection biology. It emphasizes the biology of a positive-strand RNA virus and the factors that govern host range and species jumping. The lab seeks a researcher who can help dissect the viral and cellular determinants of hepatitis E virus infection, contributing to a broader understanding of zoonotic viral emergence.

Virginia Tech provides a large, transdisciplinary research setting with strong links to medicine, veterinary medicine, and graduate education. The university describes itself as a comprehensive land-grant institution and a leading global research university, with a broad research ecosystem and multiple campus and institute connections.

The post is in the Meng Lab, with direct academic contact provided by Dr. Xiang-Jin Meng.

Funding details

Salary information is listed as commensurate with experience.

What's required

A Ph.D. in virology, cell biology, or a related field is required. The PhD must have been awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment, with at least one year of eligibility remaining. Prior experience in virology, such as reverse genetic systems of positive-strand RNA viruses, and/or organoid culture systems such as iPSC-based organoid development is preferred.

How to apply

Apply through the Virginia Tech careers portal using the job link provided in the advert. Review the posting and submit the required application materials online. Direct accommodation questions to Dr. Xiang-Jin Meng by email if needed.
