Posting Summary
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey invites applications for a Visiting Scholar position associated with the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine.
Reporting to the Principal Investigator, the Visiting Scholar will conduct full-time research studying the structure and function of human viral proteins and polyproteins, including from SARS CoV-2, HIV-1, and an array of viruses that are significant pandemic threats. Structure determination of key viral proteins including polymerases will contribute to structure-guided drug design. These studies will also lead to insights into fundamental mechanisms of polymerization, inhibition, and resistance.

COVID-19 Immunization Requirement
Under Policy 60.1.35, Rutgers University requires all prospective employees to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated and have received a booster (where eligible) against COVID-19 prior to commencement of employment, unless the University has granted the individual a medical or religious exemption. Prospective employees who are not eligible for a booster at the time of an offer of employment must provide proof they have received a booster within two weeks (14 calendar days) of eligibility. Based on current guidance, individuals are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after receiving the final dose of any COVID-19 vaccine authorized or approved for use in the United States by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eligibility for a booster against COVID-19 varies and is explained on the University’s web site located at https://coronavirus.rutgers.edu/covid-19-vaccine. Failure to provide proof of primary vaccination and booster will result in rescission of a prospective employee’s offer of employment and/or disciplinary action up to and including termination.
