Post Doctoral Fellowship in Structural Virology
The newly established structural virology lab within the Molecular
Virology and Vaccines Branch of the Influenza Division at the CDC,
Atlanta is seeking applications for a Post Doctoral Fellow to work on
the crystallographic structure determination of viral and interacting
host proteins to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of replication,
host cell response and viral evolution through a structural approach.
Targets will include integral membrane proteins and viral proteins
that interact with host. The successful candidate should be highly
motivated and interested in biochemistry and structural biology. The
position will require experience in crystallographic techniques
including MAD/SAD, data processing, phase determination and
improvement, model building, and protein structure refinement.
Additional experience in protein expression/purification from
bacterial, baculoviral and mammalian expression systems is also
preferred.
The successful candidate should be able to work independently, but
integrate well within a team utilizing a number of diverse genetic
and biochemical approaches.
The position is available May 2007 and salary will be commensurate
with experience. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a brief
summary of previous research experience and the contact details of
three references to:
