The overarching goal of projects in the Wang lab is to elucidate FcγR pathways that can be harnessed towards the development of enhanced vaccines and therapeutics.

This position offers the opportunity to work closely with the principal investigator, lab members, and collaborators in an interactive, supportive, and inclusive lab environment. 

The BLRS will participate in and lead exciting, fast-paced research in the fields of virology, molecular biology, and immunology. We are searching for someone with deep intellectual curiosity, strong organizational and communication skills, and a passion to advance the lab’s projects as a team. 

The ideal candidate is a virologist with demonstrated experience in molecular virology, vaccine development and analysis, and genome editing techniques.
