Dear Colleagues:
My laboratory at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow
to work on an NIH-funded project on SARS-CoV-2 and RNA modification. We will use X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, and cell-based methods to address basic mechanistic questions and develop novel antivirals.
These two papers describe our most recent work on SARS-CoV-2.
Nature Communications. 2021 Jun 2; 12: 3287. PMID: 34078893. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-23594-y
Nature Communications. 2020 Jul 24;11(1):3718. PMID: 32709886. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17496-8
Preference
will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience in
purification and structural characterization of protein-nucleic acid complexes by
X-ray crystallography with a strong interest in learning cryo-EM.
An ideal candidate should hold (or soon expect to hold) a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in biochemistry/biophysics/structural biology and have no more than 3 years of postdoc experience. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
San Antonio is the nation’s seventh-largest city and is located at the edge of the beautiful Texas Hill County. San Antonio offers a rich, multi-cultural community, affordable cost of living, excellent weather, and a thriving biomedical industry. There is no state income tax in Texas. All Postdoctoral appointments are designated as security-sensitive positions. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, including protected veterans and persons with disabilities.
If
interested in applying, please send a short description of your
research accomplishments and a CV with contact information of 3
references to Dr. Yogesh Gupta (email: guptay@uthscsa.edu).
