The Phillips lab at the University of California, San Francisco is looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher interested in developing and implementing high-throughput techniques to study viral protein and antibody evolution.
Established in September 2022, there are many exciting, early-stage projects available to incoming Postdoctoral Associates. These projects are designed to open several new avenues of study, enabling Postdocs to design their own projects, and for Postdocs considering academic positions, to support the transition to launching their independent research program. For more information visit: http://aphillipslab.ucsf.edu some research areas that are we especially excited about are:
Development of high-throughput methods for measuring biophysical protein properties
Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of viral protein evolution
Defining the biophysical constraints on antibody affinity maturation
Developing biophysical fitness models to predict protein evolution
Application instructions
Please include the following items in one PDF as part of your application:
A cover letter including a summary of your research experience, your career goals, and your expertise in the relevant field(s).
