Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Structural Molecular Biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

We seek a post-doctoral scientist to join the Pavel Plevka lab of structural virology at CEITEC (http://plevkalab.ceitec.cz). We use cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to determine three-dimensional structures of viruses and study their replication in infected cells. We aim to provide structural information for development of anti-viral drugs and phage therapy. We study human viruses from the families Picornaviridae and Flaviviridae. Our phage studies are focused on biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A postdoctoral position is available with a research focus on (i) bivalve neuroendocrine physiology; or (ii) microalgal production for shellfish aquaculture; or (iii) aquaponics.

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to work on a translational research project funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).
