The Pallesen Lab ) in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral position. We are currently looking for candidates with emphasis on immunobiology and structural biology. Prior experience with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is preferred. This is a two-year position with an immediate start date and possibility for extension.

The optimal candidate will perform high-resolution cryo-EM of coronavirus proteins in complex with animal and human antibodies.

This project is fully extramurally funded and is a fast-paced consortium effort in collaboration with the Wistar Institute, Inovio, AstraZeneca and University of Pennsylvania.

Publication opportunities in peer-reviewed scientific journals will be plenty.

More info on our consortium can be found here:
and .

The Pallesen Lab studies molecular mechanisms of recognition and signal transfer in immunobiological interactions. We use a wealth of biochemical and biophysical techniques and our analyses revolve around state-of-the-art cryo-EM experimentation. We are pushing the envelope of cryo-EM structural characterization by implementing new and exciting methodologies into our workflows.

Our lab is a RosettaCommons member and we have full access to our TFS Talos Arctica electron microscope equipped with phase plates and both TFS Falcon 3 and Gatan K3 direct electron detectors.

We also have access to several extramural TFS Titan Krios instruments.

Our structural studies rely on well-established collaborations as well as immunobiological systems and protein complexes that we optimize ourselves and express in our in-house bioreactor setup.
