A postdoctoral position is available at Institut Pasteur (Virus Sensing & Signaling Unit) to investigate the role played by recombination in the evolution of enteroviruses. This project takes place in the framework of the deployment of the new oral polio vaccine by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
The position is part of a large consortium made of the polio lab hosted by the Institut Pasteur and members of the Pasteur Network in Algeria, Guinea, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Madagascar. The main goal of the project is to get new insights about the circulation of non-polio enteroviruses that recombine with the vaccine polio strains, so causing reversion of the attenuated phenotype. This part of the project will involve the analysis of sequencing data (Illumina and Minion) and phylogenetic analysis. Besides, in vitro experiments using reverse genetics will be carried out to study how recombination events shape the evolution of the enteroviruses. This project will include work with infectious material.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold (or be about to obtain) a PhD in a relevant field such as virology. Prior wet-lab experience is required. Experience in molecular epidemiology and biosafety level-3 proficiency would be a significant advantage. High motivation, impeccable work ethics, excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively are essential.
The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. The expected start date (negotiable) is before mid-2024. The position is for 24 months. Salary will be commensurate with experience according to the institutional guidelines.
Application
To apply, please send a single PDF file to mael.bessaud@pasteur.fr containing: (1) a cover letter outlining your previous experiences that make you suited for this position as well as your research, training and career goals; (2) your up-to-date CV; (3) contact information for 2/3 references.
