<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Research Associate/Assistant Professor positions<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Research Associate/Assistant Professor positions are immediately available in the Laboratory of Antibody Structure (PI: Prof. Ian Wilson) at Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical
Studies (SIAIS), ShanghaiTech University (<a href="http://siais.shanghaitech.edu.cn/eng/research7.asp">http://siais.shanghaitech.edu.cn/eng/research7.asp</a>). SIAIS is an innovative research institute dedicated to the fundamental problems in life science,
particularly in the fields of immunochemistry, structural biology, immunology and virology, computational biology, cell and molecular biology.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Lab of Antibody Structure utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, which embraces x-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, bio-mass spectrometry, and other biophysical methods, to study
the host entry of various pathogens and their interaction with host cells and immune system, with a long-term goal of understanding and modulating the functions of important host receptors and immune effectors for the prevention and treatment of microbial
infections, immune disorders, or cancers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are now seeking self-motivated and creative researchers to join our team. Candidates for Research Associate/Assistant Professor positions should:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
