Project – Structure-guided design of a virus-free polio vaccine
This post is available immediately to undertake studies towards the production of completely non-infectious, stable, recombinant poliovirus (PV) capsids potentially suitable for formulation as alternative polio vaccines.
This project will be based in the picornavirus laboratories led by Profs David Rowlands and Nicola Stonehouse. These laboratories are part of the highly successful molecular virology research group in Leeds. The post is funded by WHO/The Gates Foundation and is in collaboration with groups at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC), Universities of Oxford and Reading, the John Innes Centre and the Pirbright Institute.
A first or upper second class degree and a PhD (or be close to completion) in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Virology or related discipline, together with a strong molecular biology research background are required. You will join an enthusiastic and highly active research group studying various aspects of virology.
