About this position
The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, in Dr. Manicassamy’s Laboratory, Iowa City, United States.
The research will investigate viral and host determinants of respiratory virus-induced cytokine storm and immunopathology. The laboratory studies how interactions between respiratory viruses and the host immune system determine disease severity, with particular emphasis on influenza viruses and antiviral immune responses.
The project combines viral immunology, mouse models, genetics, cellular immunology, multicolor and spectral flow cytometry, and next-generation sequencing to define cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying protective versus pathological immune responses during respiratory viral infection.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Virology, Microbiology, or Immunology and have a strong background in viral immunology, together with expertise in cellular immunology and flow cytometry. Experience with respiratory viruses, next-generation sequencing, and/or bioinformatics is desirable.
The salary is $63,480 to commensurate with experience and follows the NIH postdoctoral stipend pay scale. The position is advertised until filled. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, letters of interest, and the names and contact information of three references.
