There is an immediate opportunity to join a
research team at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU,
https://www.usuhs.edu/)
in Bethesda, Maryland, to provide the molecular underpinnings of the adaptive
immune responses to HIV-1 and SARS-Cov-2 with the ultimate goal of developing
new protein/antibody-based therapies and new vaccines. Strong research
interests and experience in structural biology/ immunology, including molecular
cloning, protein/antibody/envelope glycoprotein expression, protein engineering,
X-ray crystallography and/or Cryo-EM are required for this position. Qualified candidates should have a
doctorate in structural biology, chemistry, biochemistry, immunology or a closely-related field. Candidates at any career stage are
invited.

Candidates
need to be highly motivated individuals who enjoy working as part of a dynamic,
collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Preference will be given to
candidates with exceptionally strong experimental skills, a strong record of
peer-reviewed publications, and a demonstrated commitment to basic and
translational research.

USU
is in Bethesda, MD directly across the street from the NIH, and is therefore
part of an extraordinarily vibrant local biomedical research community. Our
research projects take advantage of recently established Core facilities for
Nextgen sequencing, Bioinformatics and Structural Biology analyses. USU has a
strongly collaborative environment, with weekly Immunology data club and
journal club meetings, as well as regular research seminars featuring local and
invited speakers.
