Research Fellow in Advanced Mechanistic Virus Assembly

Job at University of Leeds in Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2

Research Fellows in Structural & Mechanistic Virology, Faculty of Biological Sciences (2 posts available). 

Salary: Grade 7 (£39,355 - £46,735 p.a)

Available on a fixed-term basis for up to 36 months (to complete specific time limited work). This role will be based on the university campus. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you looking to join a laboratory with an internationally-leading profile?  Do you have a background in virology and the uses of modern biophysical techniques in the study of virus assembly/genetics/structural biochemistry?   Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

You will contribute to the mechanistic understanding of viral life cycles, including those of major human pathogens, such as HIV. The work involves in vitro studies of virus assembly mechanisms, and, in particular, will dissect how viral genomes help to regulate the formation of their protective protein shells (see Ann. Rev. Biophys, (2019) 48, 495-514. This will pave the way to the development of novel, evolutionarily-conserved, anti-viral therapies targeting critical aspects of these mechanisms. Our highly interdisciplinary team uses non-traditional tools and technologies, e.g. asymmetric cryo-electron microscopy; single molecule biophysics and mathematical molecular modelling, alongside more traditional techniques. Training will be offered to appropriate candidates, although prior experience of working with viruses is required. You will work alongside highly experienced Research Fellows and benefit from interactions with a wider interdisciplinary team across the Universities of Leeds and York.
