American Society for Virology
Overview
We are looking for a motivated and curious researcher, preferably at the early stage of their postdoctoral career, to join the Chattopadhyay Lab at the University of Kentucky. Our research focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of host-virus interactions, with an emphasis on the early events of host responses following viral infection. We aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying antiviral innate immunity and to define their physiological relevance in health and disease. Research Areas of Interest
Molecular and cellular mechanisms of antiviral innate immunity Regulation of interferon and inflammatory signaling pathways Mechanisms of viral evasion of host defenses Physiological relevance of host factors in virus pathogenesis (using both cellular and animal models) Qualifications
Ph.D. (or nearing completion) in virology, immunology, molecular biology, or a related field Background in molecular and cellular biology techniques; experience in virology or innate immunity is a plus Enthusiasm for hypothesis-driven research and collaborative science Strong communication and organizational skills Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment What We Offer
A supportive and collaborative research environment in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics Opportunities to work with diverse viral systems and state-of-the-art techniques Mentorship and career development support tailored to individual goals (a brand new postdoctoral program in the department that helps groom the postdoctoral fellows build their career) Competitive salary and benefits following NIH guidelines (based on first-authored publications) How to Apply
Interested candidates should send the following to Dr. Saurabh Chattopadhyay (saurabh.chattopadhyay@uky.edu): A cover letter describing research interests, experience, and career goals Contact information for three references Education Requirement:
