A postdoctoral researcher position has just become available in Dr. Hong Zhang’s laboratory to study mammalian circadian clocks. The overall goal of the project is to understand how various multi-domain clock proteins interact with each other; and how these interactions are modulated to regulate the clock-mediated transcription activation. A number of multi-protein complexes have been over-expressed, reconstituted, and purified for crystallization experiments. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field. He or she should be proficient in molecular cloning, protein expression, purification, crystallization, and X-ray crystal structure determination. Additional experiences in insect cell protein expression systems and various biochemical and biophysical techniques to study protein-protein interactions are particularly helpful.
If you are interested in this position, please email your CV and contact info of two or more referees to zh...@chop.swmed.edu. Happy New Year and all the Best!
