Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Correlative Imaging of HIV-1 Transcription and Latency in CD4⁺ T

The Division of Structural Biology, Building for Genomic Medicine, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, OX3 7BN You will be responsible for managing the project day-to-day, including both design and action of strategies in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, cell modification (CRISPR) and cellular imaging, structural studies using SPA cryoEM, cryoET and other appropriate methods. You will manage your own academic research and administrative activities and use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment. Other duties will include carrying out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner organisations and research groups, student supervising, and contributing to the overall development of our programme and preparing for the next stages in research It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in structural and functional studies of virus infections, or other relevant subject. With demonstrable decision-making, problem-solving and planning within a research environment, you must have research experience in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and cryoEM structure determination. You will have experience in the area of retroviruses and in-situ structural biology including cryoET subtomogram averaging. An ability to drive and lead the research project, manage the day-to-day running and assisting junior researchers is also essential.
