Dr. Mohsan Saeed's laboratory at Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate for a project on the interplay between viruses and the host innate immune system. The candidate will investigate the molecular details of how respiratory viruses, particularly those from the Picornaviridae and Coronaviridae families, overpower antiviral immunity and cause disease. The work will employ stem cell-derived models of virus infection and utilize modern molecular techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9, proximity-based protein labeling, proteomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, and high-resolution cell imaging. The strong conceptual and technological found
