The Nanobiophysics lab is looking for a highly motivated student with a background in biology/bio-engineer to join the David Alsteens' team at UCLouvain (Belgium) starting October 2019. The project aims at understanding the molecular mechanism underlying virus entry at the single-virus level. The project proposes to develop and apply high-resolution atomic force microscopy coupled to confocal microscopy to decipher virus entry. The candidate with background in biology or bio-engineer (or equivalent) will integrate an interdisciplinary and international team and will work in close collaboration with biologists.
