[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position in structural biology, Bethesda, MD

[Pazgier, Marzena]

There is an immediate opportunity to join a research team at the Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences (USU, https://www.usuhs.edu/) in
Bethesda, Maryland, to provide the molecular underpinnings of the adaptive
immune responses to HIV-1 and SARS-Cov-2 with the ultimate goal of
developing new protein/antibody-based therapies and new vaccines. Strong
research interests and experience in structural biology/ immunology,
including molecular cloning, protein/antibody/envelope glycoprotein
expression, protein engineering, X-ray crystallography and/or Cryo-EM are
required for this position. Qualified candidates should have a doctorate in
structural biology, chemistry, biochemistry, immunology or a
closely-related field. Candidates at any career stage are invited.


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. 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.

[ccp4bb] postdoctoral position in structural biology , Bethesda, MD

[Pazgier, Marzena]

JOB SUMMARY: A postdoctoral position is available immediately to participate in 
an inter-disciplinary research program on structural immunology 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 aimed at understanding molecular basis of action of antibodies to HIV-1 
with the ultimate goal of development of new protein-based therapeutics and 
novel vaccine concepts. Qualifications for the position include: strong 
research interest and experience in molecular cloning, protein expression, 
molecular interaction analyses, protein chemistry, and biophysical and 
structural techniques that should include X-ray crystallography or/and 
cryo-electron microscopy. A background in immunology will be considered a 
strong plus. Candidates need to be highly motivated individuals who enjoy 
working as part of a young, dynamic, collaborative and multidisciplinary team. 
Qualified candidates should have a doctorate in in the field of Structural 
Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics or Immunology. New Ph.D. graduates are 
highly encouraged to apply.


USU is in Bethesda, MD, directly across the street from the NIH, and is thus 
part of an extraordinarily vibrant local biomedical research community. Our 
research projects take advantage of excellent USU Core facilities that include 
Structural Biology and Imaging Core equipped with X-ray diffraction system for 
home data collection transmission electron and ultramicrotome microscopes. 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 directly to Dr. Marzena Pazgier, 
marzena.pazg...@usuhs.edu submitting a CV 
plus names and contact information for 3 references. Preference will be given 
to candidates with, strong experimental skills, a strong record of 
peer-reviewed publications, excellent communication and writing skills.
