[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral Positions at Cornell University

[Ailong Ke]

Two Structural Biology postdoctoral positions are available in my lab to work 
on (1) the structural aspects of proteins and complexes involved in a 
prokaryotic RNA interference pathway, and (2) the structure and conformation 
dynamics of riboswitches in gene regulation. Representative publications can be 
found in PNAS 2007; 104(43):16844-9, Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2008 ;15(10):1076-83, 
Science 2012;336(6089):1726-9, and Structure 2012; 20(9):1574-1564. The lab is 
equipped with extensive crystallographic and nucleic acid biochemistry 
resources, and is within walking distance to the synchrotron beamlines at the 
Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS).

These positions are funded by NIH. Candidates should have (or expect) a Ph.D. 
in Structural Biology, with solid experience in protein purification, 
crystallization, phasing, and structure refinement. Prior experience with 
nucleic acid and/or baculovirus expression system are desired. For more 
information, please contact Asc. Prof. Ailong Ke 
(ak...@cornell.edu), or learn more about our research

[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral positions at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA

[Ailong Ke]

A crystallography postdoctoral position in RNA Biology is available 
immediately in the lab of Prof. Ailong Ke at Cornell University, 
Ithaca, NY, USA. Related research projects will employ integrated 
approaches to understand the structure and function of RNA and 
RNA-protein complexes. The lab is interested in two main research 
areas: 1. structure and working mechanism of macromolecular machines 
in the eukaryotic RNA processing and degradation; 2. Structure and 
conformation dynamics of important RNA and RNA-protein complexes. 
Please check Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2008 Oct;15(10):1076-83, and Proc 
Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007 Oct 23;104(43):16844-9 for representative 
publications. The lab has extensive crystallographic resources, 
including regular access to synchrotron beamlines at the Cornell High 
Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) on campus.


Candidates should have (or expect) a Ph.D. or M.D. and should have 
experience in protein purification, crystallization, and structure 
determination.
