Post Doctoral Position in X-ray crystallography at University of
Colorado Denver
An NIH funded post-doctoral position in X-ray crystallography is
available in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of
Colorado Denver School of Medicine, working with Dr. David N. Jones
(http://pharmacology.ucdenver.edu/faculty/jones/jones.shtm). The work
will focus on structural and biophysical analysis of olfactory
proteins from the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. Future studies
will focus on identifying compounds that can disrupt normal olfactory
process in the mosquito as possible way to control transmission of
malaria from mosquitoes to humans.
Applicants should have demonstrated expertise in X-ray
crystallography including crystallization, data collection,
processing, model building and refinement. In addition, experience in
molecular biology techniques for cloning, expression and purification
of target proteins is highly desirable. Experience with biophysical
methods such as fluorescence, calorimetry and CD spectroscopy is a
The University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine has recently
relocated to the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora Colorado. This is
a new campus and has world class facilities available for structural
biology, including part ownership of the Molecular Biology Consortium
Beamline 4.2.2. at the Advanced Light Source in Berkley, CA, and a
900 MHz NMR spectrometer for solution studies located in the School
of Medicine.
