Organization's Summary Statement:

IBBR is a joint research enterprise of the University of Maryland, College Park, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. IBBR leverages state-of-art integrative methods for bioanalytical, biophysical and structural characterization of biomolecules: cryo-electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, x-ray crystallography, small angle neutron and x-ray scattering and mass spectrometry. IBBR researchers seek to advance therapeutic development, biomanufacturing, and state-of-the-art measurement technologies, to support accelerated delivery of safe and effective medicines to the public. IBBR is a major initiative and supported in part by the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership: MPowering the State (MPower), an initiative designed to achieve innovation and impact through collaboration.

Job Description Summary:

Projects may involve a variety of experimental approaches, including structural characterization of antibody-antigen interactions using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and/or X-ray crystallography, immunological profiling of antibody responses following natural infection and vaccination, and structure-function studies investigating mechanisms of viral entry.

Minimum Qualifications:

Applicants must hold a PhD in biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology, or a closely related discipline.

Preferences:

Prior experience in structural biology, immunology, and/or virology is preferred but not required.
