Post-Doctoral Associate - Department of Microbiology and Immunology
Twin Cities, Minnesota
Employer: University of Minnesota
Industry: Campus Operations
Salary: Competitive
Job type: Full-Time
Dr Ryan Langlois, Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, is looking for a Post-Doctoral Associate to work in his lab. Dr Langlois' overall research goal is to address fundamental questions in virology and viral immunology that have been difficult to dissect using conventional approaches. We generate novel recombinant viruses, virus host model systems, and animal models to probe the antiviral responses. We are also interested in how viruses evolve in the face of antiviral immune responses and how viruses make jumps into new species. To study this we use a newly developed model system to track viruses within both the reservoir and host, where we can perturb key components of the immune system in the host.
