Postdoctoral position: Crystallography & biophysics of platelet receptors
An AHA-funded postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated individual with expertise in crystallography and biophysics. The project is focused on the structure and function of platelet receptors, with particular interest in the interaction between glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and various ligands. The ideal applicant would have experience with cloning and protein purification, protein crystallography, and biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, or analytical ultracentrifugation. Fluency in both spoken and written English is essential. The Herr laboratory (http://homepages.uc.edu/~herrab/ <http://homepages.uc.edu/~herrab/> ) is well equipped for x-ray crystallography, analytical ultracentrifugation, dynamic light scattering, and isothermal titration calorimetry, with access to additional biophysical instrumentation. The University of Cincinnati is the 2nd largest state university in Ohio, and the College of Medicine is ranked in the top tier of research-oriented US medical schools. Cincinnati is a beautiful city with a low cost of living and numerous cultural attractions that recently has been rated by Fortune magazine as one of the top 10 US cities in which to live and work.
