The University of Virginia (UVA) has announced **86 vacant postdoctoral and research positions** across several departments. These opportunities are based in Charlottesville, USA, and span a wide range of fields from immunology to engineering. If you hold or are near completing a PhD (or equivalent), this could be a great chance to join cutting-edge research labs at a major U.S. public research university.
Quick Insight: These roles include both senior (Research Scientist) and junior (Postdoctoral Research Associate) level positions, which means they accommodate different experience levels. Many also expect independent work, publications, and cross‐team collaboration.
1. Selected Roles & Fields
• Immunology (Beirne B. Carter Immunology Center) ‒ host-pathogen interactions & innate immunity
• Cardiovascular Research (Robert M. Berne Center) ‒ molecular imaging in vascular & valvular disease
• Dermatology ‒ postdoctoral research associate roles including molecular biology / skin immunology
• Genome Sciences / Computational Biology / Bioinformatics / Machine Learning roles in various labs
• Neuroimaging (MRI / slow-flow neurofluids and brain microstructure) :
• Other lab support, molecular genetics, biochemistry, signal processing, and more.
2. Typical Requirements
• PhD (or equivalent) in relevant field (or near completion) for postdoc roles.
• Experience in relevant techniques (e.g. molecular biology, computational methods, imaging, statistics) depending on project.
• Strong record of publications or research output, teamwork or independent project management.
• For some positions, additional skills such as bioinformatics, advanced microscopy, flow cytometry, programming / analysis skills are expected.
3. How To Apply & Other Details
• Most roles listed with a **job ID** (e.g., R0076075, R0076082, etc.) — use that in your application.
• Applications are to be submitted through official UVA channels/labs. Some are specific labs/institutes.
• Since these are research roles, funding levels, start dates, and term lengths will vary. Be sure to check project-specific details.
• Some roles are for “Research Associate” (more independent/experienced roles), some for “Postdoctoral Research Associate” (focused training).
Final Thoughts
If you’re a researcher or junior scholar looking to intensify your research experience, this set of roles at UVA can offer strong opportunities.
The diversity of labs means you can align your expertise (immunology, computation, imaging, etc.) to what interests you most.
Be ready to show your ability to contribute to labs, collaborate, publish, and use specialized techniques.
Good luck with applying!
Make sure your CV, research statement, and recommendation letters are polished — these positions are competitive.
Tip: When applying, tailor your cover letter / statement to the specific lab’s work (mention techniques you know, recent relevant publications), and contact the lab PI if possible to ask insightful questions—this sometimes helps you stand out.
