Postdoctoral Associate - Andersen Lab - Immunology and Microbiology
Job description
The Andersen Lab is seeking a postdoc with a background in genomic epidemiology and/or viral genomics to develop and deploy AI-enabled, large-scale pathogen surveillance platforms for monitoring outbreaks. The role centers on integrating genomic data from clinical and wastewater samples with experimental data to identify emerging mutations and lineages with the potential to adversely impact public health.
The position will build on existing infrastructure at outbreak.info used to track the spread of highly pathogenic avian Influenza H5N1 in dairy cattle across the United States (https://h5n1.outbreak.info/), and the global spread of SARS-CoV-2 through clinical (https://outbreak.info/) and wastewater surveillance (https://outbreak.
