Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute
Virus-Host Interactions and Structures
The laboratories of Drs. L. Wayne Schultz and Tim Umland are seeking highly
motivated individuals to participate in a joint interdisciplinary research
project investigating virus-host protein-protein interactions. Two positions
at the Post-Doctoral level are expected to be hired in early 2009.
Competitive applicants should have demonstrated scientific productivity and
innovation at the graduate level, and should have a Ph.D., M.D., or similar
degree. Experience working with mammalian cell culture based assays, virus
replicon systems, and/or detection of protein-protein interactions is highly
desirable. Applicants with previous post-doctoral experience will be
considered, but such experience is not necessary. During the course of the
project, the successful applicant will have an opportunity to learn
structural biology techniques (X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray
scattering), but previous experience in these techniques is not required.
Salary and benefits are competitive, and the appointment may be for up to 3
years.
