Job Description
There is an immediate opportunity to join a research team at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU, https://www.usuhs.edu/) in Bethesda, Maryland, to provide the molecular underpinnings of the adaptive immune responses to HIV-1 and SARS-Cov-2 with the ultimate goal of developing new protein/antibody-based therapies and new vaccines. Strong research interests and experience in structural biology/ immunology, including molecular cloning, protein/antibody/envelope glycoprotein expression, protein engineering, X-ray crystallography, and/or Cryo-EM are required for this position. Qualified candidates should have a doctorate in structural biology, chemistry, biochemistry, immunology, or a closely-related field. Candidates at any career stage are invited.
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. Our research projects take advantage of recently established Core facilities for Nextgen sequencing, Bioinformatics, and Structural Biology analyses. USU has a strongly collaborative environment, with weekly Immunology data club and journal club meetings, as well as regular research seminars featuring local and invited speakers.
