Responsibilities: The successful candidate will contribute to projects in one or more of the following areas: influenza transmission and epidemic outbreaks, including developing advanced deep learning models to predict emerging antigenic and genetic variants in human and animal populations and modeling how these variants drive continued circulation and disease outbreaks; effects of prior exposures and infection, including developing within-host and deep learning models to understand molecular, cellular, and host factors, particularly pre-existing immunity from prior exposures, that shape immune responses, viral transmission, and spread; and omics analyses, including developing and applying integrative approaches to analyze genomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, and glycomics data to investigate host-pathogen interactions and mechanisms of disease progression and burdens. The lab is affiliated with the Departments of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (School of Medicine), Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (College of Engineering), and Veterinary Pathobiology (College of Veterinary Medicine), and is part of NextGen Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases (CIEID) and Bond Life Sciences Center (LSC).
