Type of job: full-time
Supervisor: Mgr. Pavel Plevka PhDResearch group description:
We use X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron
microscopy, and molecular biology to study the life cycle of human viruses. We investigate
macromolecular interactions associated with viruscell entry, genome replication, assembly, and
maturation. Viruses are simple enough that we can aspire to understand their biology at a
molecular level. Our efforts are directed towardsusing structural information for the development
of anti-viral drugs and vaccines.
Job description:
We are looking for a highly motivated laboratory technician. Good interpersonal skills and basic knowledge of English are required. You will be involved in organizing the laboratory, purchasing chemicals and equipment, and performing routine laboratory tasks involving protein and virus production. You will be required to work with human picornaviruses in conditions of BSL2 containment. Previous experience with molecular biology and protein purification is desired. Basic knowledge in x-ray crystallography or electron microscopy is a big plus.
Experience with following techniques is required:
