About this position

The Boon Lab at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate viral transmission, immune responses and vaccine science. The project focuses on influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission using mouse and hamster models.

The researcher will use barcoded viruses to track how pathogens replicate, disseminate and spread within and between hosts. The work will examine how vaccines, immune responses and environmental factors influence transmission, disease severity and infection outcomes, with the goal of informing next-generation antiviral and vaccine countermeasures.

The lab combines virology, immunology, molecular tools, next-generation sequencing, mRNA vaccine approaches, animal models and bioinformatics. Research also encompasses disease mechanisms, diagnostic tools, treatments and preventive strategies for important human pathogens, including tick-borne Bourbon and Heartland viruses.

The position is based in the John T. Milliken Department of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, in a collaborative research environment shared with laboratories studying virus–host interactions. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Jacco Boon and interact with collaborators in Molecular Microbiology, Pathology & Immunology and global health research communities.

The role offers opportunities to design experiments, analyze and report findings, prepare manuscripts and grants, maintain rigorous research records, and contribute to a collegial laboratory focused on infectious disease research with public health impact.

Funding details

Base pay is commensurate with experience. The full-time position includes eligibility for Washington University in St. Louis employee benefits subject to employment status, FTE workload and weekly standard hours.

What's required
