POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN MEMBRANE PROTEIN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY A NIH funded postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Francis Valiyaveetil, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. The Valiyaveetil group investigates the structure and function of ion channels and transporters using a combination of unnatural amino acid mutagenesis, electrophysiology and x-ray crystallography. See references (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 110, 17886, 2013; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 110, 15698, 2013) for an example of the research underway in the lab.
The position is suitable for a highly motivated candidate with a recent (less than 1 year) Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics or a related discipline who has gained extensive experience in protein crystallography in their graduate research. The position provides the candidate with a unique opportunity to gain expertise in membrane protein biochemistry, electrophysiology and techniques for unnatural amino acid mutagenesis. Please send CV, a brief description of graduate research, future research interests and contact information for three references by email to: valiy...@ohsu.edu OHSU is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.
