A postdoctoral position is available immediately to participate in an interdisciplinary research program in structural immunology in the laboratory of Dr. Pazgier (https://www.usuhs.edu/node/68252) at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) in Bethesda, MD. Candidates are expected to work on ongoing research projects in structural biology with the aim to understand the molecular basis of the adaptive immune response to HIV-1 and Sars-Cov-2 and the ultimate goal to develop new protein-based therapeutics and novel vaccine concepts. Strong research interests and experience in molecular cloning, protein expression, molecular interaction analysis, X-ray crystallography and/or Cryo-EM, as well as outstanding interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills, are required for this post. Candidates with an immunological background are invited to apply.
Candidates need to be highly motivated individuals who enjoy working as part of a dynamic, collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Preference will be given to candidates with exceptionally strong experimental skills, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, and a demonstrated commitment to basic and translational research. Qualified candidates should have a doctorate in chemistry/biochemistry, microbiology, immunology or a closely-related field. Candidates at any career stage are invited. USU is in Bethesda, MD directly across the street from the NIH, and is therefore part of an extraordinarily vibrant local biomedical research community. Our research projects take advantage of recently established Core facilities for Nextgen sequencing, Bioinformatics and Structural Biology analyses. USU has a strongly collaborative environment, with weekly Immunology data club and journal club meetings, as well as regular research seminars featuring local and invited speakers. Candidates should apply to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation: http://careers.hjf.org submitting a CV plus names and contact information for 3 references. Note: you may also directly contact Dr. Pazgier directly, marzena.pazg...@usuhs.edu. -- ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
