About this position

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 PBVs interact with bacterial hosts in vitro and in vivo, including studies in gnotobiotic mouse models. The project is explicitly described as “out of the box” and emphasizes creativity, independence, and a willingness to pursue an emerging area with strong potential impact.

The postdoctoral researcher will use a broad experimental toolkit spanning next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetic screens, and both virological and bacteriological approaches. The role sits in a laboratory setting that combines molecular, microbial, and animal-based research, with an expectation of careful research conduct, strong collaboration, and active participation in the generation and communication of publishable results.

The appointment is framed as a training and transitional position for a future career in academic, industrial, governmental, or other full-time research or teaching settings.
