Postdoc in CryoEM/ET: Visualizing Virus–Host Interfaces

Instruct-ERIC; Madison (WI); On-site; USD 58,000 - 72,000; Full time

Job summary

UW–Madison seeks a Postdoctoral researcher to study cryoEM/ET of virus–host interactions. The project focuses on how viral glycoproteins engage receptors and fuse with membranes, using cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-ET, and in situ cryo-FIB/ET alongside biochemical and computational methods.

Ideal candidates have a strong cryoEM/ET background, especially with membrane proteins or viruses, and a willingness to work with diverse viral systems; NIH postdoctoral stipend guidelines will apply to

Qualifications

• Strong background in cryoEM/ET, particularly in membrane proteins, viruses or membrane-associated complexes.
• Salary will follow NIH postdoctoral stipend guidelines.

Responsibilities

• Visualize dynamic virus-host interactions in native membranes and cellular contexts.
• Apply cryoEM/ET and related approaches to understand molecular mechanisms of viral entry and host engagement.
