Postdoctoral Fellowship
A postdoctoral position is available immediately on a NIH-funded project
to
study the molecular pathogenesis of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) by using
swine HEV and pigs as an animal model system (see: PNAS
1997;94:9860-9865;
J.Virol. 1998;72:9714-9721). Preference will be given to candidates
with
experience in full-length cloning of viral genome and viral gene
expression
and manipulation. Individuals with a doctoral degree (preferably Ph.D.)
and a strong background in molecular biology and virology are encouraged
to
apply. Send your C.V. and names of three references to: X.-J. Meng,
Center
for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Diseases, College of Veterinary
Medicine, Virginia Tech, 1410 Price's Fork Road, Blacksburg, VA
24061-0342.

Graduate Research Assistantships
Multiple graduate research assistant positions are available to work on
projects funded by NIH and a private animal health company on the
pathogenesis and vaccine development of animal viruses. The prospective
graduate students are expected to receive extensive training in
molecular
and experimental virology leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree.
