This message is posted on behalf of my colleague Dr. Sangita Sinha: A postdoctoral position starting immediately is available to conduct NMR studies of proteins involved in autophagy. Specifically, various collaborative projects are investigating the conformational flexibility and function of intrinsically disordered protein regions involved in autophagy nucleation. This position will be based in the laboratory of Dr. Sangita Sinha at North Dakota State University and will involve collaboration with Dr. Richard Kriwacki (St. Jude, Memphis, TN USA), a leader in studies of disordered proteins. The ideal candidate should be self-motivated, have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics or a related field, with a strong background in protein expression and purification and in the use of NMR spectroscopy to study protein structure, disorder and dynamics. The candidate will also have the opportunity to be trained in single crystal X-ray Crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering and other biophysical methods as well as basic cellular assays. The initial contract will be for a period of one year with potential renewal for an additional two years pending a satisfactory performance review.
Additional information and instructions for application may be found at: https://jobs.ndsu.edu/postings/6053. Applications should include a cover letter and CV with bibliography. In addition, three letters of recommendation should be sent directly to sangita.si...@ndsu.edu. North Dakota State University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or veterans status. All candidates for employment are subject to a pre-employment screening which includes a review of criminal records, reference checks, and verification of education. -- Christopher L.
