[Chang, Changsoo]

Argonne National Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral researcher to join the 
Structural Biology Center (SBC) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) to develop 
methods in crystallography and other techniques. Building on our expertise in 
high resolution de novo structure determination, serial crystallography and a 
long history of cutting edge experiments, we would like to bring the next 
generation of experiments to the SBC general user program. The postdoctoral 
fellow will develop hardware and software to analyze molecular changes of 
structures as diffraction data is collected and processed autonomously, will 
create the experimental scope, source samples, collect and analyze data.

The SBC is committed to research in these areas as the direction of the 
crystallography is being shifted and as APS will provide advanced capabilities 
after the major ongoing upgrade. Research in multimodal crystallography is 
growing and expected to continue to increase for years to come.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position available in Indiana University School of Medicine

[Takagi, Yuichiro]

Dear Colleagues

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral follow with a background in 
structural biology (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM), to work on NIH-funded 
projects studying multi-protein complexes involved in eukaryotic transcription 
regulation. The information of this position is as follows:

Postdoctoral Fellow, Takagi Laboratory 
(https://medicine.iu.edu/research/faculty-labs/takagi/)
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Who We Are:
My laboratory is interested in understanding the mechanisms of assembly, 
structure and function of large multi-protein complexes -“molecular machines” - 
involved in eukaryotic gene regulation, utilizing both cryo-EM and X-ray 
crystallography. We are particularly interested in the Mediator complex in both 
yeast and humans.

We believe that development and implementation of novel technologies is the key 
to unlocking the mysteries of how highly complex molecular machines (e.g. 
Mediator) function. Therefore, our overall research objective is two-fold: (i) 
development of novel technologies for studying multi-protein complexes, and 
(ii) application of these technologies to elucidate the structure and function 
of the Mediator complex.  In addition, we have developed a novel technology for 
producing pure preparations of difficult-to-express proteins and protein 
complexes, which has enabled several exciting ongoing projects with outstanding 
collaborators, including work on: plant RNA polymerases, DNA helicases, DNA 
repair complexes, RNA editing complex, and insulator complex.

 What We Offer:
1) State-of-the art protein and protein complex expression technologies (patent 
pending) enabling expression of difficult-to-express, problematic proteins and 
protein complexes

2) Accessibility to crystallization drop-setting robots, home X-ray sources, 
Synchrotron data collection at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne 
National Laboratory (within a 3 hour drive from our lab), as well as 
electron-microscopy (EM) facility: Titan Krios, Talos Artica, and JOEL-FS3200

3) A one-on-one mentoring opportunity by which a postdoctoral fellow can learn 
the craft of designing research strategy, preparing compelling grant proposals, 
and paper-writing and presentation skills

4) The opportunity to work with multiple outstanding collaborators

Who Should Apply:
This position could be a great fit for you if:

- you have the expertise and experience in X-ray crystallography, and want to 
apply such skills toward structure determination of highly complex 
multi-protein complexes

- you are interested in learning and developing for the cutting-edge protein 
complex engineering and expression technologies

- you would like to extend your skill sets to cryo-EM

-you are self-confident and can communicate with the PI, other lab members, and 
collaborators with ease, and enjoy discussing research results and how to 
overcome technical challenges

- the specific research focus of our laboratory inspires you

- you love to gather information from the literatures  and helps generate 
creative ideas and technical solutions

- you relish working on technically challenging problems, which often require 
an extended persistent effort to crack


Job Description, Qualification, and Expectations:

Primary activities in this position include, but are not limited to:
- Expression and purification of the protein complexes for biochemical and 
structural studies
- Structure determination of the protein complexes by cryo-EM or/and X-ray 
crystallography
- Biochemical assays to characterize the recombinant protein complexes
- Providing intellectual contributions to the projects including writing 
manuscripts, fellowship application and helping PI for grant applications
- Ph.D. in structural biology (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM) is strongly 
preferred 

If interested, please email a cover letter, CV, and two reference letters to 
ytak...@iu.edu 
Applications will be screened until a suitable candidate is found.  Indiana 
University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.

A Research Associate post is available to join Prof Stephen Curry's research 
group on the structural biology of enzymes from RNA viruses, within the 
Division of Cell & Molecular Biology. The position is based at the South 
Kensington Campus of Imperial College London.

Our recent work has established new breakthroughs in the structural and 
functional analyses of proteases, polymerases and helicases from picornaviruses 
and caliciviruses (see http://www.bio.ph.ic.ac.uk/~scurry/ for publications. We 
are now looking to take this work forward in exciting new directions.

The post will involve taking on the role of lead researcher on a project to 
investigate structural and functional aspects of enzymes from RNA viruses. The 
project is of a highly multi-disciplinary nature and will likely involve 
protein structure determination by protein crystallography and NMR (the latter 
in collaboration with Prof Matthews' group).

The successful candidate should have or be about to receive a PhD degree in a 
relevant subject, preferably structure determination by protein 
crystallography, or have equivalent level of professional qualifications and 
experience. Previous experience of working in a structural biology research 
environment and knowledge and experience of X-ray data collection at 
synchrotron sources, structure determination of macromolecules by X-ray 
crystallography, cloning, over-expression and purification of proteins and 
preparation and handling of recombinant proteins are essential.

A good understanding of protein over-expression in E. coli (with and without 
minimal media), and requirements of sample preparation for NMR methods are 
desirable. Use of the Linux operating system, and data processing with the CCP4 
package, CNS or Phenix refinement and model building in O/coot would be also an 
advantage.

You must have demonstrable ability to learn new techniques, to work
