Cryo-EM Explorer: Lipid-Enveloped Virus Entry & Assembly

The Crick invites applications for a 2027 PhD project led by Peter Rosenthal. The successful candidate will join a group studying virus entry and membrane fusion using cryo-EM and cryo-ET to image influenza and retroviruses, with a focus on glycoprotein-mediated fusion and assembly.

Training spans single particle cryo-EM, cryo-ET, FIB-milling, subtomogram averaging, and computational image analysis, complemented by protein, membrane and virus methods and light microscopy.
