Research Fellow in Cryo-electron Microscopy of Virus Samples

You will work alongside highly experienced Postdoctoral Fellows, participating in work involving in vitro studies of virus assembly mechanisms, and in particular, how viral genomes help to regulate formation of their protective shells. These assembly mechanisms can also be the targets of novel, evolutionarily-conserved, anti-viral therapy. The thrust of the laboratory is to use non-traditional tools and technologies, e.g. asymmetric cryo-electron microscopy, single molecule biophysics and mathematical molecular modelling, alongside more traditional techniques.
