ARIA is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance. Some services will be temporarily unavailable throughout the day.
Three postdoctoral fellowships are available in Peijun Zhang’s lab at the University of Oxford
Two Wellcome Trust funded PDRAs to work on HIV-1 and host cell interactions, specifically
1) Structural mechanisms of HIV-1 restriction by capsid-sensing host proteins by cryoEM/ET
2) Correlative live-cell, cryoFIB/SEM and cryoET of HIV-1 infection
One BBSRC funded PDRA to work on bacterial chemotaxis signalling array structure and dynamics. This project is in collaboration with Prof. Mark Sansom and Dr. Phill Stansfeld in the Department of Biochemistry.
Zhang lab combines structural methodologies, in particular cryoEM and cryoET, with biochemistry and functional studies, in conjunction with molecular-dynamics simulations, to gain fundamental understanding of biological processes. The Division of Structural Biology has excellent facilities including state-of-the-art cryoEM (Krios and Glacios), cryo-fluorescence microscopy and high-performance computing. We also have an access to the UK national cryoEM center, eBIC, at the Diamond Light Source
You must be highly motivated, hold a PhD in biophysics/structural biology or equivalent, and have a demonstrated track record in conducting high quality original research. Knowledge and experience in cryoEM/ET, protein biochemistry, structural biology and/or live-cell fluorescence microscopy (post #2) are essential.
Online application is open (closing date: 15-Nov-2018)
