The postdoctoral researcher will investigate the functions of viral noncoding RNAs, conserved viral RNA elements, and host RNA‑binding proteins during infection, including projects on herpesviral noncoding RNAs, regulatory RNA elements in SARS‑CoV‑2 and measles virus, PUMILIO proteins, ILF3/NF90‑family proteins, microRNA regulation, and RNA–protein interactions. Qualifications PhD or equivalent scientific degree in Molecular Biology, Virology, or a related field. Strong background in RNA biology, molecular virology, and host‑virus interaction. Experience with RNA immunoprecipitation, reporter assays, subcellular fractionation, and viral infection models. Ability to design and conduct independent experiments, analyze data, and publish findings.
