PIs: Carmen San Martín, Mark J. van Raaij Starting on: June 2023 Contract length: 3 years Subject: The intelligent design of more efficient adenovirus vectors using structural data. Tasks: To solve structures of adenovirus particles or adenovirus proteins, alone or in complex with hosts factors. To analyze structures and design changes in proteins to tailor more favorable virus host interactions for efficient targeting and gene delivery. Requested skills: Position A: demonstrated experience in protein structure determination. Additional experience in virus structure, protein crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy strongly desired. Position B: demonstrated experience in protein design / protein-protein interactions. Additional experience in virus structure or protein structure determination strongly desired. Requirements for both positions: Applicants should hold a PhD degree in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, protein chemistry or a related discipline. Ability to work independently and efficiently as part of a team. Well organized with attention to detail and excellent record keeping. Strong communication skills and fluency in written and spoken English. Enthusiasm, motivation, and capability to learn new methods. Problem-solving skills.
