About this position

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Research, Assessment and Development laboratory in the Diagnostics and Countermeasures Branch of the Center for Infectious Disease Research at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The fellow will initiate and carry out research projects focused on the development, validation, evaluation, and implementation of molecular assays and next-generation sequencing methods for detecting and quantifying infectious pathogens of U.S. military and national interest. The research addresses clinically and clinically relevant specimens and supports the development of improved diagnostic approaches.

Research activities include designing and optimizing real-time PCR, digital droplet PCR, serological, nucleic-acid extraction, amplification, sequencing, and pathogen-detection workflows. The fellow will investigate specimen matrices and preservation methods, troubleshoot assay performance, and help improve sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and quantitative capability.

The position is embedded in a multidisciplinary scientific environment involving military, government, academic, and international collaborators. The fellow will contribute to assay transition and clinical research applications, prepare scientific reports, conference abstracts, manuscripts, and patent applications, and participate in laboratory meetings and seminars. Work is conducted in a BSL-2 laboratory handling biological and chemical hazards, including infectious agents such as SARS-CoV-2, HIV, hepatitis viruses, malaria, and leishmaniasis.

The role offers an opportunity to develop expertise in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, infectious disease research, serology, assay validation, and next-generation sequencing within a military medical research setting.

Funding details

Full-time salaried postdoctoral position with an annual salary range of $52,800–$65,000; actual salary depends on experience and education. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, health savings and retirement plans, and other benefits.

What's required

Ph.D. in molecular biology, virology, immunology, or a related scientific discipline, including principles of developing and executing quantitative molecular assays and clinical applications. Zero to five years of experience is required, with two years preferred. ASCP(CM) certification or equivalent training is required. Candidates should have strong experience in molecular biology, serology, tissue culture, handling infectious agents, nucleic acid and protein extraction and purification, next-generation sequencing, characterization, primer and DNA construct design, assay-performance equipment, and bridging studies. Excellent oral and written communication, troubleshooting, independent work, and multidisciplinary collaboration skills are required. Evening or weekend work may be needed. The candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a T1 Public Trust background check and complete required safety, HIPAA, CITI, and other training. Physical requirements include lifting up to 25 pounds, prolonged standing or computer work, movement between laboratory areas, biological safety cabinet work, fine motor coordination, and attention to detail.
