A postdoc position is immediately available for protein crystallography.
Protein targets include essential proteins involved in innate immunity
defense system, Parkinson's diseases and aging. Exciting preliminary
results have been obtained recently.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to carry out
(i) molecular biology, protein expression and purification methods to
obtain insight into protein-protein interactions and (ii) to determine
high resolution crystal structures of individual protein components, and
in particular of protein complexes. Oklahoma state university has
excellent research environment. We have on-site, convenient access to
Departmental core facilities which include Mass spec,NMR, RT-PCR, DNA
sequencing, 2-D protein electrophoresis, ultra-centrifugation and state of
art x-ray diffraction system and much more.
Job requirements:
- A recent Ph.D degree in biological chemistry or physics.
- Good knowledge and/or experience with molecular biology for protein
over-expression
- Experience with:
- protein expression and purification methods of soluble proteins
in E. coli
- characterizing purified soluble proteins
- protein crystallization.
- protein crystal cryo-protection procedures
- At least three years of experience with protein structure determination
methods
- Excellent interpersonal skills to function optimally in the project team
and to cooperate with collaborators.
If interested, please send CV and contacts of three references directly
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks.
