A post-doctoral associate position is available in the Institute of Molecular Virology, University of Minnesota to study the cell entry mechanism of small envelope viruses (Zhang, W., et al 2002. J. Virol. 76:11645-11658; Kielian, M., and F.A. Rey. 2006, Nature Rev. Microbiol. 4:67-76.) using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) (Baker, T. S., et al. Microbiol. Molec. Biol. Reviews 63:862-922) and other biochemical and biophysical methods. Specifically, identifying the steps and determination of the type-II viral fusion protein oligomerization, re-organization during low-pH triggered membrane fusion. Candidates should have a PhD and training in virology, structural biology, biophysics or related fields. Please send cv, research experience and three references to Dr. Wei Zhang (zhang...@umn.edu)
