[ccp4bb] A postdoctoral fellow position in Bethesda, MD

[Pazgier, Marzena]

There is an immediate opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow to join a
research team at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
(USU, https://www.usuhs.edu/) in Bethesda, Maryland in the lab that focuses
on understanding mechanisms of molecular recognition in human disease with
the goal to translate that knowledge into medical applications. Our lab (
https://scholar.usuhs.edu/en/persons/marzena-pazgier) applies structural
biology, structure-function analysis and other biochemical and biophysical
tools to elucidate the molecular basis of the mechanisms involved in
adaptive responses to HIV-1 and SARS-CoV2 with the ultimate goal of
generating basic knowledge and developing new vaccines, small compounds or
antibody/protein therapeutics. Strong research interests in protein
engineering and structural biology, including molecular cloning,
protein/antibody/envelope glycoprotein expression and engineering, X-ray
crystallography and Cryo-EM are required for this position. Qualified
candidates should have a doctorate in biochemistry, molecular biology,
structural biology or a closely-related field. Candidates at the early
career stage are strongly encouraged.


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.


USU is in Bethesda, MD directly across the street from the NIH, and is
therefore part of an extraordinarily vibrant local biomedical research
community.


To apply please contact Dr. Pazgier at marzena.pazg...@usuhs.edu.
