Dear all,
An immediate postdoctoral research associate position is available at Dr. Wei Zhang's laboratory at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA. The successful candidate will lead experimental design and execution to investigate the structural transformation of enveloped viruses during membrane fusion, using molecular virology, cryo-EM, single particle reconstruction, cryo-ET, subtomogram averaging, and related biochemical and biophysical methods. This collaborative project is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and aims to make breakthrough discoveries and deepen our understanding of the fundamental aspects of virus entry. Additionally, the postdoctoral research associate will have the opportunity to participate in developing novel technologies to study virus assembly, maturation, interactions with small molecules, and infection. The position offers the chance to work with world-class researchers in the Twin Cities through established and successful collaborations. *Required Qualifications*. Candidates should have: (1) a Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, virology, structural biology, or related field; (2) published in international peer-reviewed journals. *Preferred Qualifications*. Experience in protein structure determination and strong computation skills, or working with recombinant protein expression, cell culture, viruses (BSL-2) is a plus. We welcome all applicants who have a passion for research and the drive to learn and contribute to the field. Interested candidates should submit a pdf with cover letter, CV and names/info for three references to Dr. Zhang at [email protected]. Best regards, Wei Zhang ######################################################################## 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/
