There is an immediate opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow to join a research team at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU, https://www.usuhs.edu/) in Bethesda, Maryland in the lab that focuses on understanding mechanisms of molecular recognition in human disease with the goal to translate that knowledge into medical applications. Our lab ( https://scholar.usuhs.edu/en/persons/marzena-pazgier) applies structural biology, structure-function analysis and other biochemical and biophysical tools to elucidate the molecular basis of the mechanisms involved in adaptive responses to HIV-1 and SARS-CoV2 with the ultimate goal of generating basic knowledge and developing new vaccines, small compounds or antibody/protein therapeutics. Strong research interests in protein engineering and structural biology, including molecular cloning, protein/antibody/envelope glycoprotein expression and engineering, X-ray crystallography and Cryo-EM are required for this position. Qualified candidates should have a doctorate in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology or a closely-related field. Candidates at the early career stage are strongly encouraged.
Candidates need to be highly motivated individuals who enjoy working as part of a dynamic, collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Preference will be given to candidates with exceptionally strong experimental skills, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, and a demonstrated commitment to basic and translational research. USU is in Bethesda, MD directly across the street from the NIH, and is therefore part of an extraordinarily vibrant local biomedical research community.
