[3dem] STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY OF VIRAL PROTEINS (Postdoctoral positions) NIAID/NIH

[Harris, Audray (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Dear Colleagues:

STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY OF VIRAL PROTEINS (Postdoctoral positions)

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Bethesda, MD
and surrounding area

The Structural Informatics Unit (SIU) seeks to elucidate the molecular
architecture, function, and epitope diversity of viral proteins. The
research program exploits 3D electron microscopy of viruses and protein
complexes to obtain structural information. Structural analyses are
supported by other structural, biochemical, and immunological analyses in
order to understand antigen-antibody interactions and aid in both
structure-assisted immunogen and therapeutic designs for infectious
diseases.  Our research program integrates structural and biochemical
studies with bioinformatics to facilitate a collaborative synergy between
these disciplines in the context of the focus on structure-function studies
of viruses and viral proteins.  A major focus is on the antigenicity,
structure, and function of respiratory viruses, such as influenza.

We are looking for candidates who can work collaboratively on problems
related to virus structure, assembly, and antigenicity and have a strong
background in at least one of these areas: structural biology (cryo-electron
microscopy or x-ray crystallography), computational biology/image or data
processing or virology and protein biochemistry.
For more information, see the lab website below:

Requirements:

Applicants must have a Ph.D., or M.D., or equivalent, and less than 5
(preferably have less than 2) years of postdoctoral experience. The
Structural Informatics Unit of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases is
located on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, USA.
The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training
and employment programs.

To Apply:
Candidates should submit a CV, and a one-page research experience summary
describing research accomplishments, and contact information for three
letters of reference. Please write "Postdoctoral application" in the subject
header and send to:
