Applications are invited for an immediate opening for a postdoctoral position to work on expression of eukaryotic membrane proteins. The candidate must be within five years of attaining a PhD degree in biochemistry or a related field. Experience in baculovirus, Expi293 (or Freestyle) expression, and crystallography is desired. In addition, the successful candidate should be well versed in one or more of the following areas: molecular biology, protein purification, and membrane protein biochemistry. This is a joint position with industry through the MITACS program. This is an opportunity to join a lab experienced in the expression and crystallization of various membrane proteins (See *PNAS *(2007) 104(3):750-4, and *Science, *(2003)*. *301:616-620), and viral proteases (*Nat Comm 2020, J Med Chem 2021*: (http://www2.biochem.ualberta.ca/LemieuxLab/). The University of Alberta, located in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada), is home to a large and interactive community of biomedical scientists, and facilities for structural biology are excellent. Our department provides interaction with numerous crystallographers. The Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron facility is located a short drive away. In addition, the membrane protein research group provides a dedicated forum for membrane protein research at the University of Alberta (http://www.mpdrg.com). Edmonton, having a population of over 1 million, offers a cosmopolitan environment with world-class performing arts, sports, culinary and recreational opportunities. In addition, the city’s proximity to the Rocky Mountains including the towns of Jasper and Banff is an additional bonus. Salary is commensurate with training and experience at the MITACS standard rates. A medical and dental benefit package is included with salary. The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit. We are committed to the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons. The records arising from this competition will be managed in accordance with provisions of the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPP).
