Postdoc Position to Study African Zika Virus

Institut Pasteur

Paris, France

A postdoctoral position is available at Institut Pasteur in Paris to investigate the biology and epidemic potential of African Zika virus strains. Although all Zika outbreaks to date have been exclusively associated with strains from the Asian lineage, a body of evidence indicates higher transmissibility and pathogenicity of Zika virus strains from the African lineage. To enhance our preparedness, is essential to characterize the biological properties of African Zika virus strains and devise strategies to prevent their emergence.

Applicants must hold (or be about to obtain) a PhD in a relevant field such as virology or vector biology. Prior wet-lab experience is required, 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.
