Sun Hur (Assistant Professor)
Department of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology and the Department of Pediatrics
Harvard Medical School

A post-doctoral position is available to study the molecular mechanism for self vs. non-self discrimination by the innate immune system. We use a combination of X-ray crystallography, biochemistry and cell biology to characterize structures and functions of key host molecules that recognize foreign molecules, in particular viral nucleic acids.

Applicants should have received a PhD and have a strong background in X-ray crystallography, biochemistry, RNA biology, immunology or virology.

Please send a cover letter, CV, names, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of three references to Sun Hur at Sun.Hur@childrens.harvard.edu
