The Virology (chair: Professor Oliver T. Keppler) of the Max von Pettenkofer Institute

at LMU Munich, Germany offers a

Postdoctoral Position in Coronavirus Research (m/f/d), E13, full time

for 28 months in the laboratory of Professor Keppler

The continued emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants-of-concern poses a major challenge for the long-term control of the pandemic. We are interested in understanding the evolution and mechanisms of immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 and the development of antiviral strategies. We have developed novel assays to study adaptive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 including the evaluation of the potency of neutralizing antibodies in the biosafety 3 laboratory (Wratil et al., Nature Medicine 2022; Keppler-Hafkemeyer et al., Nature Cancer 2022; Huth et al., New England Journal of Medicine 2023) and demonstrated the antiviral efficacy of innovative click-chemistry modified, stabilized siRNAs (Traube et al., Angewandte Chemie 2022).
