<b><span lang="SV" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Postdoctoral researcher at Lund Medical Faculty/CureVac/Institut Laue-Langevin<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="SV" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to be based in the Molecular Biophysics Group within the Biomedical Centre (BMC) in
the Medical Faculty of Lund University, led by Professor Trevor Forsyth. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with CureVac (<a href="https://www.curevac.com/en/">https://www.curevac.com/en/</a> ) in Germany, and with the LSS and Life Sciences
Groups at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL - <a href="https://www.ill.eu/">https://www.ill.eu/</a> ) in France. CureVac is a leading global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of new classes of drugs based on the use of messenger
RNA (mRNA) technologies. The ILL is the most intense neutron source in the world and holds a leading position for neutron science in life sciences, soft condensed matter, and hard condensed matter.The researcher will be based in the Lund Medical Faculty, with
good access to state-of-the-art facilities both within the Medical, Science, and Engineering faculties, and in close proximity to the nearby MAX-IV synchrotron and ESS neutron beam facilities, as well as access to the ILL and ESRF sources in Grenoble, France.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="SV" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The work will focus on the structural characterization of mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) using techniques such as small-angle X-ray and
neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS), selective deuteration, and electron microscopy. We seek advanced structural characterization of mRNA LNPs relating to pharmaceutical stability and
<i>in vivo</i> efficacy. These structural details are critical for the development of better vaccines in the future.
