is seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Associate to study the structures and
specificity of RNA modification enzymes. We will mainly use X-ray
crystallography and cryo-EM to study the mechanisms and develop small
molecule antiviral candidates. We provide a rich multi-disciplinary environment and
access to cutting-edge technologies to our trainees.</span><span></span></span></p>
