[3dem] Postdoctoral positions in Zhang Group in Oxford, Resolving HIV-1 transport and host cofactor regulation in the cellular context

[Peijun Zhang]

Dear all,
I have 5 postdoc positions open in May 2025, supported by a recent Wellcome Discovery Award for a period of 8 years.
The project aims to define how HIV-1 capsids exploit host cofactors in the early stages of HIV infection at the molecular and cellular levels and to distinguish the unique nature of the pandemic HIV-1 lineage from non-pandemic HIV. We expect to uncover molecular mechanisms of HIV replication at a scale which can underpin new therapeutic opportunities, similar to Lenacapavir (#1 in Science's 2024 Breakthrough of the Year) (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.science.org/content/article/breakthrough-2024__;!!Mih3wA!A1kJOVT-da5DUKwCTDFTQJXo4xgOMTWvoUh5FxVnpNlNf79Mm-YD8iCGU-rMxmmByM5iPEQ4lUtktr_QNFoGHwAdo6QNktkF$ ).

The official application link will be open after the new year. Strong candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Peijun Zhang at peijun.zhang at strubi.ox.ac.uk<mailto:peijun.zhang at strubi.ox.ac.uk> for inquiries.
Best wishes for the holidays!
Peijun
