[peijun at strubi.ox.ac.uk]

Dear all,

 

Three postdoctoral fellowships are available in Peijun Zhang's lab at the
University of Oxford
https://www.ndm.ox.ac.uk/principal-investigators/researcher/peijun-zhang

 

Two Wellcome Trust funded PDRAs to work on HIV-1 and host cell interactions,
specifically

1) Structural mechanisms of HIV-1 restriction by capsid-sensing host
proteins by cryoEM/ET

2) Correlative live-cell, cryoFIB/SEM and cryoET of HIV-1 infection

One BBSRC funded PDRA to work on bacterial chemotaxis signalling array
structure and dynamics. This project is in collaboration with Prof. Mark
Sansom and Dr. Phill Stansfeld in the Department of Biochemistry.

Zhang lab combines structural methodologies, in particular cryoEM and
cryoET, with biochemistry and functional studies, in conjunction with
molecular-dynamics simulations, to gain fundamental understanding of
biological processes. The Division of Structural Biology has excellent
facilities including state-of-the-art cryoEM (Krios and Glacios),
cryo-fluorescence microscopy and high-performance computing. We also have an
access to the UK national cryoEM center, eBIC, at the Diamond Light Source
https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Biological-Cryo-Imaging/eBIC.html. 

 

You must be highly motivated, hold a PhD in biophysics/structural biology or
equivalent, and have a demonstrated track record in conducting high quality
original research. Knowledge and experience in cryoEM/ET, protein
biochemistry, structural biology and/or live-cell fluorescence microscopy
(post #2) are essential. 

 

Online application is open (closing date: 15-Nov-2018)
