Our lab has an opening for a research technician to contribute to our efforts to understand RSV evolution & its impact on antibody countermeasures (see journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....). The tech will also help w lab management.

More generally, my approach is a part of a "functional surveillance" paradigm where we infer changes in the functional properties of pathogens using genome sequence data.

Hey! That's me! Check out my latest where I develop a method for pinpointing where mutation spectra change along phylogenies. Striking, nodes with large changes are significantly enriched for protein changes in the RdRp (catalytic domain of the polymerase) suggesting a causal role.

So glad this is finally out. The method has been instrumental in allowing us to compress the AllTheBacteria data - ~2 million bacterial genomes shrink from 3Terabytes (gzipped) to 100Gb using phylogenetic compression. Great work by @brinda.eu
