Offer Description
Description of the workplace
At the research group for Virus Biophysics, research is conducted in physical virology and structural virology with a focus on human herpesviruses. Special focus is on physical mechanisms that control the ejection of viral genome into the host cell during the viral division process. We also study how viral capsids are assembled inside the cell, how the cell's mechanical properties respond to an infection, and which processes lead to the reactivation of the herpesvirus from a latent (dormant) state. In addition, we are developing novel antiviral drugs that target biophysical processes in the viral life cycle. We discovered groundbreaking antiviral mechanisms of action that do not lead to development of resistance in the infected cell. This project benefits from newly built infrastructure in Lund – MAX IV, which is the world’s brightest X-ray synchrotron, and soon to be completed European Spallation Source (ESS) for neutron scattering studies.
We are now seeking an Associate Researcher in virus biophysics in small angle x-ray and / or small angle neutron scattering (SAXS / SANS). The position is 100% full-time 6 month fixed term employment. The desired start date is August 15th 2023 or by agreement.
We offer
Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme.
