Applications from recent graduates are invited for NIH-funded
postdoctoral positions in structural biology at the University of
Illinois at Chicago. The positions require a Ph.D. in structural
biology, biochemistry or a closely related field. The ideal candidates
will have interests in protein structure/function and will have
extensive experience in protein chemistry and basic molecular biology
proficiency. Prior X-ray crystallography experience is a plus but not
required.
Join an enthusiastic laboratory working on exciting projects that are
aimed at translating structural data to improve and develop novel
therapeutics. Specifically, you will explore structure-function
relationships of enzymes involved pro-drug activation to allow for
enzyme engineering of improved variants. In this position there will
also be an option to be trained in cell biology methods to test the
efficacy of the engineered enzymes.
The laboratory is located in the new state-of-the-art Molecular Biology
Research Building. Our 30 minute proximity to the Advanced Photon Source
makes UIC an excellent environment for x-ray crystallographic studies.
UIC, the largest University in the Chicago area and the largest medical
school in the nation, is located near downtown Chicago, a city with
great cultural and recreational offerings.
