My research group at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San
Antonio, is seeking to immediately hire a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on an
NIH-funded project on SARS-CoV-2. We study the structures and mechanism of
RNA modification and motor enzymes that operate during SARS-CoV-2
replication and transcription. We will use X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM,
and enzyme biochemistry to address basic mechanistic questions and develop
small-molecule antivirals.
Further details of our work on SARS-CoV-2 can be found here:
1. Nature Communications. 2021 Jun 2; 12: 3287. PMID: 34078893. doi:
10.1038/s41467-021-23594-y
2. Nature Communications. 2020 Jul 24;11(1):3718. PMID: 32709886. doi:
10.1038/s41467-020-17496-8
Candidates with demonstrated experience in X-ray crystallography and a
strong interest in using cryo-EM will be preferred. Candidates with
research experience in cryo-EM are especially encouraged to apply. We
already have crystals and cryo-EM datasets available for an immediate
start.
Interested candidates can submit their application (CV and a brief
description of their accomplishments) directly by email: guptay@uthscsa.edu
