Postdoctoral Researcher in Structural Virology

This postdoctoral position at Masaryk University’s Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) in Brno focuses on structural virology, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms of virus replication in human picornaviruses, flaviviruses, and pathogenic bacteria-infecting bacteriophages. The successful candidate will work with state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) equipment within an ERC Consolidator grant-funded lab. The role is ideal for researchers with expertise in structural biology, virology, or related fields, offering a dynamic environment to contribute to cutting-edge scientific discoveries. The position emphasizes independent research, collaboration, and access to advanced core facilities.

• Conduct advanced structural virology research using cryo-EM and related techniques to determine virus particle structures and infection mechanisms.
• Develop and implement experimental protocols for studying picornaviruses, flaviviruses, and bacteriophages.
• Collaborate with lab members and core facility staff to access and utilize cutting-edge equipment and resources.
• Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present research at conferences or internal lab meetings.
• Contribute to the design and execution of research projects supported by ERC Consolidator funding.
• Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, data, and results for reproducibility and future reference.
