The College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan is pleased to invite applications for a tenure-track, Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Protein Science for Pathogen Defense. The Canada Research Chair (CRC) Program is the flagship of a national strategy to make Canada one of the world's top countries in research and development.
We are looking for an outstanding early career scientist to establish and lead a groundbreaking research program in protein science to understand the mechanisms of bacterial and viral infection in humans or animals, investigate host-pathogen interactions, or discover novel mechanisms of defense against known and potential future pathogens. Within this broad scope, specific areas of interest include synthetic antigen design, molecular basis of immune response to pathogens, mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and prediction-guided design of artificial antibodies. We are interested in hiring a world-class expert in one or more of the following areas: (i) protein structure prediction and structural bioinformatics, (ii) protein design, and (iii) cryo-electron microscopy.
