POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
An NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL position is available immediately to investigate the structure and function of molecular chaperones and components of the protein quality control system. Diffracting crystals are available for some projects. The position requires a doctoral degree in one of the natural sciences. Preference is given to applicants with 0-2 years of experience. However, applications from more experienced postdoctoral scholars/staff scientists will be considered. Applicants must have demonstrated, relevant experience with 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 is highly competitive and is in addition to a generous fringe benefit package. The Tsai lab is fully equipped for all aspects of molecular biology, protein chemistry, and structural biology (http://www.bcm.edu/labs/tsai/). Baylor College of Medicine is highly committed to support structural biology and has pledged over US$ 1 million in capital equipment to set-up a new state-of-the-art X-ray crystallography facility in the Department of Biochemistry. This facility will nicely complement our existing strength in cryo-EM and functional proteomics. To apply, please send a current CV, a brief description of your research interests and key accomplishments, and contact information of three to four referees to: Dr. Francis Tsai, Associate Professor, Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza MS:BCM125, Room 315B, Houston, Texas 77030, USA.
