Postdoctoral Fellow

Role: Postdoctoral Research Fellow leading an innovative project in viral neutralization assay development within the PDMB organization, focusing on dengue virus to understand factors influencing assay variability across platforms. Responsibilities: establish and characterize matched live virus, reporter virus, and pseudovirus neutralization assays; apply Design of Experiments and advanced data analysis; investigate biological and analytical drivers of platform differences; generate and interpret cross-platform datasets; contribute to scientific publications and presentations. Requirements: PhD in Virology, Immunology, Microbiology, or related field; demonstrated ability to independently design and troubleshoot experiments; experience with mammalian cell culture, viral assays, and statistical analysis; strong scientific documentation and communication skills. Preferred: experience with infectious virus and surrogate virus platforms, assay optimization, and proficiency in data analysis tools like R or Python. High-Value: viral immunology, assay development, virology, data analysis, scientific publishing, collaborative research environment, and potential for developing independent scientific voice. Work setup: not explicitly specified, but structured mentorship and publication focus suggest an academic research environment with collaboration across disciplines.
