2025/04/02

A postdoctoral position is available at the Abrescia Lab in the CIC bioGUNE research centre near Bilbao, Spain, to work on structure-function studies of virus-host interactions and virus assembly. The project aims to develop animal vaccines by using SPA cryo-EM to characterize viral proteins and their complexes with monoclonal antibodies. Applicants should hold a PhD (awarded within the last 3 years), ideally in structural biology or virology and be highly motivated to utilize computational tools in electron microscopy. Prior experience in image processing (SPA cryo-EM) and/or methods development and programming is desirable. The Postdoctoral position is a three-year contract. The start date is as soon as possible. The call closes on the 30th of April 2025. The CIC bioGUNE research center is equipped with an operative EM platform (with JEOL 200 kV and 120 kV ‘feeder’ microscopes) and has routine access to the nearby Basque Resource for Electron Microscopy (BREM) facility equipped with a Titan Krios G4 and Aquilos II. Additionally, the Abrescia Lab has regular access to other major infrastructures in the EU. Application procedure: Candidates should submit their CV, a cover letter and the name and contact details of, at least, 2 references using the following form and indicating 40371 as reference.
