Dear all, A two-year postdoctoral position is available in my junior group at the Institut Pasteur (Paris, France). We investigate the molecular mechanism of viral entry into target cells combining structural biology, biophysics, computational and virology approaches. The goal is to use the resulting information to develop vaccines and therapies. You can check our previous work in: Serris et al. Cell (2020, PMIDs: 32937107), Guardado-Calvo et al. Science (2017, 29097548) or Mitler et al. Science Translational Medicine (2023, 37315110).
We are looking for a person with a good track record and an excellent motivation to pursue a career in structural virology. The postdoctoral fellow will be in charge of characterising protein complexes using cryo-electron microscopy and of setting up functional assays to characterise their activity in vitro. The group is hosted in friendly and dynamic environment with extensive opportunities to learn new techniques and establish collaborations. We have fully equipped P1 and P2 labs and the Institut Pasteur is equipped with start-of-the-art microscopes, including two 200 kV Glacios and a 300 kV Titan Krios equipped with a Falcon 4 detector and an energy filter. The synchrotron Soleil is less than 1 hour from the Institut and we have fluid access to the crystallography and biophysics platforms, which are excellently equipped. Required qualifications • A PhD in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics or virology. • Documented experience in at least one of the following techniques: structural biology (cryo-electron microscopy or crystallography) or virology (neutralisation or fusion assays). • Good interpersonal skills The application should contain 1. A letter of motivation (1 page) with a short description of your research interests. 2. A CV, including a list of relevant skills, experiences and a full publication list. 3. Names and e-mail addresses of 2-3 reference persons, indicating their professional relation to you. The starting date is negotiable. Ideally around February/March 2024. The deadline for this application is the 20th December 2023. Informal inquiries and application should be sent to Pablo Guardado-Calvo ( guard...@pasteur.fr) For more information, just follow this link: https://research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postdoctoral-position-in-structural-biology-of-poxviruses/ ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
