Postdoctoral positions available
This lab conducts two aspects of research using X-ray crystallography
and other biochemical approaches. One is to understand how a limited
number of transcriptional factors regulate larger amount of genes. Our
model is that two or more transcription factors work together and
further recruit other protein modification factors to form high-order
regulatory assemblies on gene promoters. Another is to study how the
extracellular signals are transferred to a specific set of
transcription factors. These projects include structural
characterization of ligand-protein and protein-protein interaction and
proteins associated with cell membranes. Please refer

information.
Those who have Ph.D in any biological or medical disciplines are
strongly encouraged to apply. Any experience in protein biochemistry
is a plus. Training in crystallography is welcome but not required.
You will be provided with a standard package from Xiamen University
including low-cost oncampus apartment, medical insurance and family
assistance. Additional salary will be offered to compensate your
credentials. Initial contract is 1-2 years and expected to start
within 6 months. Please send your CV including personal statement and
contact information of three referees to Dr. Aidong Han at
