The Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) is seeking enthusiastic, dedicated, and creative individuals to join its ranks as postdoctoral fellows. LVD is composed of eight independent investigators who seek fundamental insights into the complex biology of human viruses. Current research covers a broad array of viral pathogens (HIV, poxviruses, herpesviruses, papillomaviruses, influenza viruses, and flaviviruses) and explores virtually all facets of viral biology, including virus entry, regulation of gene expression, mechanisms of genome replication, virion morphogenesis, latency-persistence, pathogenesis, immunity, and evolution. LVD investigators also apply their expertise to develop viral vaccines and therapeutics. Information about LVD investigators and ongoing LVD research can be found on the LVD website.

LVD offers an outstanding research environment within the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Information about training at NIAID is available on Research Training at NIAID.
