The successful candidate will leverage hands-on expertise in mammalian cell culture, viral production, and molecular biology to design and execute experiments involving infectious agents, generate and validate viral stocks, and develop robust cell-based assays. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, with a strong emphasis on scientific rigor, biosafety, and high-quality data generation to support both internal programs and external partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

Design and execute experiments for developing/optimizing viral infection models
Perform virus production, titration, and quality control, including functional validation of viral stocks using standard quantitative methods
Maintain and culture a variety of mammalian cell lines; perform transduction, transfection, infection assays, and stable cell line generation
Develop and optimize in vitro infection models and cell-based assays to characterize viral replication, antiviral potency, tropism, and host-pathogen interactions
Execute molecular biology workflows including PCR, cloning, sequencing verification, Western blotting, ELISA, and fluorescence-based assays
Contribute to antiviral screening and functional assay development as needed
Maintain BSL-2 compliant laboratory practices; follow all biosafety protocols and contribute to a strong lab safety culture
Document experimental work thoroughly; contribute to internal technical reports, SOPs, and scientific publications

Hands-on experience working with mammalian viral systems (VEEV, LASV, influenza, coronaviruses, or similar)
Proficiency in mammalian cell culture, including sterile technique, passaging, transfection, and infection assays
Experience with virus production and titration (e.g., plaque assays, TCID50, qPCR-based titration, or ELISA)
Solid foundation in core molecular biology techniques (PCR, cloning, gel electrophoresis, sequencing, Western blot, ELISA)
Strong attention to detail, laboratory organization, and commitment to rigorous data documentation
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a small, fast-paced team

Preferred

Experience with BSL-2 or BSL-3 containment and associated biosafety training
Experience with animal models of viral infection
Background in host-pathogen interaction studies or innate immune response characterization
