POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY An NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL position is available immediately to study the structure and function of (1) ATP-dependent molecular machines [e.g. Cell (2003) 115:229; Mol. Cell (2007) 25:261] and (2) multi-component protein assemblies [e.g. EMBO J. (2000) 19:25]. Diffracting crystals are available for some projects [e.g. Acta Cryst F. (2007) 63:784].
The position requires a doctoral degree in one of the natural sciences. Applications from experienced postdoctoral scholars/staff scientists with experience in protein crystallography will be considered. Applicants must have demonstrated experience with methods used for the crystallization and X-ray crystal structure determination (i.e. MAD/MIR) of proteins and enzymes. Experience with gene cloning and methods used for protein expression and purification are an advantage. The salary for this position will be pegged to the current National Research Service Award (NRSA) stipend for postdoctoral fellows (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-057.html) and is in addition to a generous fringe benefit package. Our lab is fully equipped for all aspects of molecular biology, protein chemistry, and X-ray crystallography. To apply for this position, please send a current CV, a brief description of research accomplishments and interests, and contact information of three to four referees to: Dr. Francis Tsai, Associate Professor, Dept. of Biochemistry and Mol. Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza MS:BCM125, Room 315B, Houston, Texas 77030, USA. E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
