Postdoctoral Associate in Virus-Immune System Coevolution

Job Description:

Dr. Yiquan Wang ’s laboratory () in the department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology at the University of Florida is recruiting postdoctoral researchers. The group integrates artificial intelligence, structural biology, and high-throughput experimental techniques to study sequence–structure–function relationships that shape viral evolution and immune recognition. By combining deep mutational scanning, next-generation sequencing, and foundation models, we develop interpretable AI to anticipate viral evolution and enable next-generation therapeutics and vaccines. Research projects will involve engineering high-throughput library-on-library screening platforms for viral immunology, building AI foundation models to predict viral antigenic evolution and design effective antibody, developing interpretable multimodal AI frameworks linking sequence, structure, and function, and designing autonomous AI agents for automated experimentation and data...
