Postdoctoral position: reverse genetic tools for viruses using synthetic genomics

This position will focus on developing improved reverse genetic tools for viruses using synthetic genomics and CRISPR-based tools to manipulate virus genomes and recover viable virus leading towards a more complete understanding of viruses that lack robust genetic tools, such as agricultural pathogens and bacteriophages, and to develop modified viruses for therapeutic applications. The position requires a candidate with proficiency in microbiology and molecular biology.
